Well, if you run Mandrake, you'll be hard pressed to find a better all 
around newsgroup than alt.os.linux.mandrake ... we average 3,200-4,000 
posts a week, and have a very helpful bunch of regulars there; some have 
even moved on to other distros such as Debian or Gentoo, but continue to 
contribute to a.o.l.m. due to the robustness of the community therein.

OTOH, I haven't seen a lot of discussion there regarding qmail, as the MDK
distros all come with both Postfix (the default) and sendmail, so those
are what most people there use; still, it's certainly worth a shot to post
your qmail questions there.
