I meant to respond awhile ago so the prompt was worthwhile.

I've been evaluating s/qmail and so far it looks good.  Some features of 
the combined patch aren't available in s/qmail but of course there are 
other features unique to s/qmail.  In my case there has been enough 
similarity so far that it's been a fairly straightforward process.

If you haven't subscribed, there is a s/qmail mailing list.
