What makes you think that using qmail means you have to use it for
POP3? You can use qmail for smtp only, you know. It is totally
compatible with the /var/spool/mail/user format if you NEED to
continue using it. Think about it...it is more secure, more flexible,
more everything. You won't regret a changeover and it will save you a
whole lot of hassle trying to run two smtp servers at once.

Theoretically, yes. But am I going to be the poor sod to try and
explain sendmail and qmail on one system? Not likely...
