actually, the opposite is true - no matter how much djb tries to deny
it, wietse DID find a denial-of-service attack against qmail.
qmail isn't faster either, in fact it is significantly slower when you
have a lot of mail to send to the same server - qmail sends one message
per recipient, always. postfix sends one message with multiple RCPT TO
addresses....makes a big difference if you have a mailing list with,
say, 1000 subscribers at hotmail.com.
of course, if you WANT to send one message per recipient with postfix
then you can do that - but it's an option, not a "feature" which is
impossible to turn off.
