I'm no expert on the subject but I'm wondering what your rather sweeping 
statement is based on.

Your google suggestion returned one result unrelated to this discussion.

However, google hits for:

+qmail +phish = 15200
+sendmail +phish = 41800
+exim +phish = 54700


There seems to be no shortage of people out there who say qmail is far 
and away the most secure MTA avaiable (not to say the fastest). While 
these google searches are hardly quantitative, the MTA/phish results 
above certainly lean that way.
