Here are some of qmail's features.
Setup:
-* automatic adaptation to your UNIX variant -- no configuration needed
-* AIX, BSD/OS, FreeBSD, HP/UX, Irix, Linux, OSF/1, SunOS, Solaris, and more
-* automatic per-host configuration (config, config-fast)
-* quick installation -- no big list of decisions to make

Security:
-* clear separation between addresses, files, and programs
-* minimization of setuid code (qmail-queue)
-* minimization of root code (qmail-start, qmail-lspawn)
-* five-way trust partitioning -- security in depth
-* optional logging of one-way hashes, entire contents, etc. (QUEUE_EXTRA)
