What is Qmail?

Qmail is a mail transfer agent (MTA) designed as a secure alternative to Sendmail. It emphasizes security, reliability, and simplicity. Qmail delivers email by breaking down complex tasks into smaller, independent programs that run with minimal privileges. While still used, it's less common now compared to other modern MTAs.
