qmail inclusion in official release of FC4?

[Aly Dharshi]

The more and more that I think about it I feel that it should be put in a repo 
such as that of Dag or ATrpms. I think that there are better modern smtp servers 
out there that do a lot more stuff than Qmail and prolly more efficiently with 
things built in, Exim comes to mind for one. Exiscan patch is being integrated 
into main stream Exim so it should be ninja cool.
