Meeeoow! :)

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

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.
