Quoted from http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html:

[...]
"You may distribute copies of qmail-1.03.tar.gz, with MD5 checksum
622f65f982e380dbe86e6574f3abcb7c."
[...]
"If you want to distribute modified versions of qmail (including ports,
no matter how minor the changes are) you'll have to get my approval."
[...]

So you may ask DJB, but I'm sure he won't allow it unless you have VERY
good reasons DJB never thought about. That's not likely to be the case.
