Actually, postfix was written from scratch by Wietse Venema (developer
of TCP Wrappers) and has nothing at all to do with Qmail. As a matter
of fact, Dan and Wietse don't seem to enjoy good relations (Dan is a
pain in the ass to deal with if you ask me). I wouldn't recommend qmail
to anyone, and certainly not a beginner. Postfix comes with CentOS and
will be a lot easier to integrate and maintain.
