I wouldn't agree that Postfix is more secure than Qmail. In fact, Mr. Bernstein (the creator of qmail has a bit about just that on his web site at http://cr.yp.to/qmail/warfield.html).
Please note that despite Mr. Bernstein's coding skills his paranoia and reliance on personal attacks instead of logic make him a less then trustworthy reviewer of other people's work. Qmail may or may not be more secure than Postfix, but I wouldn't trust his opinion on the topic as far as I could throw the printed copies of all the mail the two packages have delivered - he's simply incapable of being fair on this topic. Both Postfix and Qmail are currently thought to be secure, both are good choices for an SMTP server regardless of what Mr. Bernstein would like to believe.
