qmail is a mail transfer agent (MTA) that runs on Unix systems.It can be said as a replacement for the Sendmail program provided with UNIX operating systems.
qmail is the second most common SMTP server on the Internet and it uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to exchange the messages with MTA's on other systems.
It's more secure, reliable and offer high performance.
Handling mailing lists reliably is one of the main advantages of qmail as it makes it easy to set up mailing list owners and automatically prevents mailing list loops.

Thanks

One more advantage is Replacement for sendmail : qmail offer host and user masquerading, full host hiding, virtual domains, null clients, list-owner rewriting, relay control, double-bounce recording, cross-host mailing list loop detection, per-recipient checkpointing, downed host backoffs, free message retry schedules, etc. qmail offer a drop-in ``sendmail'' wrapper so that it will be used transparently by your current Uas.
