Chris,

There are no packages for Qmail that I am aware of.  However, it's 
pretty trivial to build and install since it's dependencies are 
extremely small.  I wrote some SMF scripts so I could use svcadm.

I have two chains for incoming email. The first is on the standard port 
25 and has no relaying and gobs of spam checking.  The second is at port 
587 and does SSL/TLS authorization so users can use it to relay mail.

The sending engine is stock qmail-send unpatched.

The authorized incoming engine is a chain of sslserver, and smtp-front 
(mailfront) and uses cvm for SASL login.  Mailfront replaces the qmail 
front-end so I believe it will work with the stock qmail.

The non-authorized incoming engine is a chain of tcpserver and 
spamdyke.  I believe that spamdyke will work without qmail modifications 
but I'd have to check.

If there are any qmail patches, the only one I believe is necessary is 
the qmail queue patch so you can hook spamassassin to it.
