Read the thread "[qmail] New qmail mailing list"
Some believe qmail is secure but hasn't been updated with new features. What new features it has are done by contributors, not by the author and not certified by him. Some are going to Exim since it has the latest features, although it has had some minor security issues in the recent past.
I installed qmail. Last supported package is for Mandrake 9.2 but they say it works in 10.0. I still need to install a patch but haven't figured out how just yet. (Do I need to install qmail-local? qmailctl command is not found...)
Configured files under /var/qmail/alias and /var/qmail/control as per byrd, mostly.
Copied /etc/aliases file from byrd.
After changing config files you have to type:
qmailctl cdb - reread config files
qmailctl reload - sends HUP signal to program
newaliases - read new aliases file
This is the Mandrake page I followed that mentions the patch.

This is a list of all packages that come with Mandrake 10:

Remember to allow senders (relayers) here:
/etc/tcp.smtp (I think this has now changed to /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtp.
If you don't want to be tied down to a desktop, you need direct access to your computer in the cloud. Since Firefox runs just about everywhere, it's a good place to start to set up a reliable way to access your accounts. Blog & Social Delicious Bookmarks is the recommended and official Firefox add-on for Delicious, the world's leading social bookmarking service (formerly del.icio.us). It integrates your bookmarks and tags with Firefox and keeps them in sync for easy, convenient access. Syncing slows down startup, though. ScribeFire Blog Editor is a blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog. They've also integrated their affiliate Quick Ads advertising program, which I haven't tried.
