Yes, 'life with qmail' is excellent. A good thing, too, because the qmail list 
is hostile and unhelpful.

I use Postfix. Great mta, and the book "Postfix" by Richard Blum is 
outstanding, especially for beginning mail admins, as it also covers DNS and 
connectivity, and various types of configuration. And the Postfix list is 
quite civilized. 

If licensing is an issue, qmail is not GPL. I'm not quite sure what it is.

qpopper is a nice POP3 server, easy to configure.
