I HAVE to run Qmail because it's a legacy requirement. If I could find something with similar virtual domain and Maildir support (and for all I know Postfix or Exim may provide these) and a nice transition path I'm stuck with it.
And let me throw in to the ring, there's a nicely RPM packaged Qmail package conglomerate at http://www.qmailtoaster.com/ And we all know that packages are the way ahead, right? :)
Complete with CentOS instructions http://www.qmailtoaster.com/centos/cnt40/EZ-QmailToaster-CentOS-4.3.txt
Personally, I hack around with the SPECs before building to strip out the MySQL and other features and just use Qmail listening on localhost only for the very final Maildir delivery after messages have been dealt with by MailScanner and Sendmail, then Courier and VPOPMail for POP3 and IMAP.
Personally, I've just hacked around with my own .spec to add/remove features as I see fit. I cannot for the life of me imagine though why somebody would run qmail just for Maildir delivery when it functions quite well as an MTA using MailScanner and <insert_anti-virus_software_of_choice_here>?
I wouldn't trade my morercpthosts.cdb, or aliases.cdb (using fastforward), for anything. And integration of just about anything you want in the delivery stream with .qmail-default and /var/qmail/users/assign rocks.
Inter7's vpopmail is also quite a nice virtualdomains package, using the same facilities.
Sendmail just makes me want to go "ewwww!".
And yes, I'm typing this while happily wearing my Nomex suit sitting in my nuclear blast bunker.
