    Is that important?

    You're kidding about this one, aren't you? If you name qmail and
    compatibility in one line, a negation is required. Ahem. You wanted to
    avoid flame wars, so I'll stop this now.

    Postfix does support MySQL virtual users, but AFAICS, vpopmail requires
    qmail-send/qmail-local for its user mappings. I never set this up myself
    though (neither mysql nor vpopmail).

    ezmlm will not work at all with Postfix. You can let ezmlm-idx use
    Postfix as delivery backend via QMQP. Again, I never did this.

    Sort of. Look at Cyrus and Courier-IMAP if you're after IMAP or POP3
    servers (with SSL), and Squirrelmail or Sqwebmail for webmail (sqwebmail
    accesses Maildirs directly, Squirrelmail speaks IMAP).
