overcoming qmail-phobia

hello!

it's been some 20 years that I have been tolerating exim due to my
qmail-phobia :-(

I can't imagine where this phobia comes from because I feel very
confortable using other djb software like djbdns, daemontools, ucspi-tcp,
etc..

my needs are very simple:

A) aprox 10 servers will have to handle only locally-generated messages;

B) aprox 2 servers will have to handle both locally-generated and
smtp-received messages;
- messages to mydomain will be alowed;
- other messages will have the sender host checked against a CDB of ipv4
numbers;

in both cases:
- servers are ubuntu hosted inside AWS datacenters;
- messages will be delivered via google's smtp-relay.gmail.com;


my questions are as simple as my needs :-)

ubuntu have a qmail package (netqmail-1.06) available; I am assuming it is
more than enough for the simple tasks I have;
do you agree? or should I use one of the packages I see mentioned in this
mailing-list?

it seems null-mailer is the perfect solution for task B; but since I will
have to learn qmail, perhaps I should stick to a qmail-only solution and
disable the smtp-listening module;
