It sounds interesting.
Considering "exim" is
1) default MTA in Debian
2) GPL
3) easy configuration
4) one big daemon (sendmail/smail like)
5) normal file locations
and "postfix" is
1) default MTA in recent REDHAT
2) GPL
3) easy configuration
4) security ultra conscious small programs (qmail like)
5) normal file locations,
why "qmail? "qmail" does not meet 1, 2, and 5.
Other than that, sounds good.

If you want this to be a part of DDP, please use debiandoc-sgml and
put graphics as a link:

Start with good general idea, but write a few key chapters by yourself
first. Leave graphics work later. If you write a good document, it
will grow itself.
By the way, your document sounds too general in some ways. Just do not
reinvent wheels. There are many HOWTOs in LDP. Differentiate your
document from previous works and focus on a imaginary target audience
you choose.

For my DDP document I started with English. Japanese, which is my
language, has not started but 3 translation exists already.
Cheers :)
