Not likely. Please keep in mind that qmail has not been maintained for
a long time. IMO is is long past its expiration date. In this day and
age you need an mta that is capable of rejecting a message before it
accepts it, if for instance the mailbox does not exist. Qmail accepts
all mail then if it cannot deliver a message trys to bounce it. Spammers
love qmail!! It unloads their machines and bandwidth and makes yours work
harder.
The above behaviour generates enormous amounts of backscatter and will
get you membership on numerous black lists.
In short get a modern mta if you really want to fight spam. Anything
less is a waste of time.

Tom
