UPDATE: I was able to build a fake mta .deb package
and get everything done.

I cant stand sendmail. I've never usered exim or
postfix, but I chose qmail because of its excellent
reputation for security (I dont think there was ever a
security hole) and performance. It promises never to
loose a single email, I like Maildir better than mbox.
Its very easy to configure, and I like the fact that
I can tell whats going on in the queue.
Not to mention I didnt choose exim because I had a
webhosting account on a server that uses exim, there
was a spammer on the server, and exim was constantly
taking the load on the quad xeon machine over 350. I
hear that with qmail the load stays reasonable.
Looks like there are some patches for qmail available
prevent the backscatter. I will have to look into
them, of course I have to be care since I already am
applying a patch for smtp-auth!
