> qmail, unfortunately, never did become too popular

At one point, it was the second most popular MTA on the Internet. What pray tell would "too popular" look like?

When you were thinking about qmail correctly, it was an absolute pleasure to get everything to work together. Promise. Yet whilst the documentation was correct, it probably wasn't very good from the perspective of helping people think about it correctly. André Oppermann[1] (and perhaps Dave Sill[2]) did a much better job of this, so when they came available I would usually have pointed people there and see what kinds of questions they still had.
