What problem are you trying to solve? If the question is "can Postfix do that?" the answer is "yes, it can, and a lot more, too". If the question is "Which MTA should I use?" The answer is "Use the one you are able to administer and debug.".
I do prefer, no doubt about it, qmail. Check www.shupp.org, and install in a twinkle the best mail server (imho, of course). And after, enjoy with a master piece of software.
What features were the deciding factor for you to choose Qmail? I don't have any experience with Qmail myself, I chose Postfix because it has a great support community, a very active development and the documentation is extensive and accurate. Features like DSN and Policy Server/Milters also became very important.
Do as you like. It's only my advice. But after many years testing nearly every mail server, I don't change qmail for anything in this world. It's simply a master piece of software. People who knows me also know my opinion about qmail, and I think this way from 1998-1999, when I tested the first time. All features you like in a mail server, qmail does have them. So, why don't you try and if not of your taste, install any other. I can assure you my qmail is really the same I've got from 2002. And I sleep peacefully while qmail works. That's not good, I know, but if you don't want be ever watching a mail server, install qmail and forget yourself.
If I had to choose another MTA other than Postfix I would probably switch to Exim.
Postfix and Exim are two great mail servers, but I still do prefer qmail, because (and it's only my opinion) is much better in most cases. qmail version is the same from 1998, and it does not need any more; but there are many people around helping and making "add-ons", making it more powerful and never, never, never has a security hole or anything like these. However, sendmail or postfix really have holes... or is that not true? So decide and have a try qmail, and you'll not be disappointed. Cheers, Alejandro.
