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.
