There is no option for losing mail or users. ;)

Absolutely minimal. At the appropriate point, the script will stop qmail, do
a single "rpm -Uvh ..." command, then start qmail again, all without any
intervention. The down time varies with the number of packages being updated
and processor speed. In general it will take a minute or so for a few
packages, up to 10 minutes or so to upgrade everything on a Pentium-II/266
(most of this time is for generating keys for qmail-toaster package).

You should upgrade your qmailtoaster-plus package before running qtp-newmodel.
