Bug#158533: project: qmail is installed on murphy

[David Nicol <shipnow@davidnicol.com>]

So when is someone of the "qmail is unacceptable because DJB's
in-practice license grant does not meet strict qualifications" camp
going to write an equivalent drop-in replacement?  It's not like you
can't reverse-engineer qmail and make it over without using the
substandardio library -- in fact there are some advancements that
could be made to the queue format, such as storing all messages for
one remote relay together.  Exim does most of these things ...
