Heh, I've run qmail at two mid-size organizations.  It was quite good
(the qmail-ldap distribution specifically) in the early 2000s.
Definitely not something I would recommend for an end user, though.

I think "buggy" is not an adequate word to describe qmail.  In fact in
my experience it was rock-solid and nearly impossible to break.  Do you
have specifics?

It's OK but I definitely like Postfix more for a leaf node (from the
standpoing of the end user).  Even for a small organization Postfix is
adequate IMO.
