         1. qmail is not included with Red Hat or Fedora systems. I have 
derived a great deal of benefit (both personally and financially) by using 
Red Hat Linux operating systems and software they provide, and I prefer to 
document that which they provide to help them grow their userbase.

         2. I used and grew to despise qmail. Unfriendly, inhospitable, 
annoying piece of ... never mind. I refuse to use it any more, and will 
certainly not recommend it or document it.

         3. I philosophically and emphatically disagree with djb and 
qmail's design philosophies.

         4. The software is not all it's cracked up to be. Several holes, 
problems, and deficiencies.

I respect your opinion and preference. The above is just a short summary of 
mine.
