That's kind of the point of giving advice on mail lists.  If
you've had a bad experience with something you can spare other
people similar pain.   And it is pretty much guaranteed that
you'll have a bad experience with a stock qmail system the
first time you get a dictionary-type attack to your domain
or if you send a lot of group messages over low-bandwidth
links.
