Yep, qmail handles virtual domains. It's explained, in the qmail FAQ
(which is included with the qmail .tar.gz file).  As for a .deb package,
yes there will be one at some point. I'm working on this. The package is

Then take a good look at qmail. From what I've seen of its design (and
from the little bits of its code I read), I have a "warm and fuzzy
feeling"  about qmail's security.
