Exactly.. I have 7 instances of qmail running on a Linux box (don't ask why
its a rather long complicated story) and has been that way for about a year
now.. No lost messages or anything. Just make sure your running the big
concurrency patch. Other than that as far as performance .. It does work
faster when each of our major clients has his own qmail process to goto.
However that's about the only benefit.

OTOH, everything else (binaries, configuration, addresses) can be
shared. Then if one queue disk dies, you've lost any mail that was in
it, but other mail will be unaffected.
