Carlos:

Don't let Tom mislead you. Qmail is maintained by an active community of
 administrators. All the problems he mentions can be addressed with
proper configuration.

The fact that dspam users are mostly running Postfix shouldn't
discourage you from making a qmail system running dspam. We've done so
with great success.

The fight against spam shouldn't be partisan.
