Madi,

We've used qmail and vpopmail for the last 3 years. Despite its age, my
research shows that it is still the most secure MTA available (when
properly patched). I've used the instructions at www.qmailrocks.org
several times and the resulting installation is quick, stable and allows
virtual domain support. It's definitely worth a good look.
