QMail doesn't target Linux? Oh, wait, you mean it doesn't target me and others who doen't want to invest the effort in installing it. That's fine, I use Postfix and it works well enough for my needs.
So what? Comparative programs have the same issue therefore it is not an issue? I'm not disputing that QMail is an improvement over Sendmail; in fact, I'm not disputing QMail at all. I've never deployed it, nor do I plan to do so.
I'm merely expressing my belief that in code that is meant to be used in production, facilitation of deployment is part of the problem scope. This is especially so when proper deployment is critical (as is the case with a mail server for example.) If QMail make deployment more difficult than it could be, then that is a problem with QMail. It might be the result of a worthwhile trade off. It might be better than it's competitors. But it's still a problem.
