You could try eQmail, s/qmail and regarding others, you could give a
try to indimail-mta,
available in RPM / Debian format for various distros at
http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aindimail&package=indimail-mta

Gives you TLS + IPv6 + DKIM + ucspi-tcp + daemontools + SRS +
SPAM/virus filter and
almost all patches known to me It does not have a binary package for
slackware, but you
could easily build it yourself using the pristine qmail-1.03,
ucsp-tcp-0.88 tarballs and theqmail-1.03 and ucspi-tcp-0.88 patch from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/indimail/files/Patches/

If you want virtual domains support with IMAP, POP3 (courier-imap) and
users in MySQL database then you
could look at the IndiMail package at
http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aindimail&package=indimail

Installation and configuration of indimail-mta is quite simple and you
will feel quite at home since you use qmail.
Configuration of indimail package is a bit more involved however
(MySQL setup, etc).

You can use iwebadmin (a hack of qmailadmin) to manage indimail. All
binary packages (indimail-mta, indimail, iwebadmin) are available from
the same repos.
