Not sure what you mean by bad? IMHO, the design has been excellent and
extremely small code footprint, which makes it easy to add new
features.

I am not sure if you are looking at a change just because of DKIM.
The DKIM solution listed in your link below is mine. It consists of
two executables qmail-dkim (which can be called by setting QMAILQUEUE
environment variable) and dkim (which is used primarily for testing).
You can integrate with qmail-ldap, netqmail, etc. I have seen other
solutions which involve simple perl scripts too. The DKIM patch for
netqmail can be dowloaded from

https://sourceforge.net/projects/indimail/files/netqmail-addons/qmail-dkim-1.0/dkim-netqmail-1.06.patch-1.23.gz

> I thinking to change to Qmail –> Netqmail –> https://notes.sagredo.eu/en/qmail-notes-185/patching-qmail-82.html and I would not like it because for example I would have to use vpopmail again (Software discontinued too since 2011)

Unless something is broken, you should stick to your current setup.
Else try out the solutions by  Roberto Puzzanghera, Erwin Hoffman's
build or mine (indimail). You can decide which works best for you.
