QMail very stable!
Actually, I did this on my G4/533 box in January using a patch someone else created for OS X. Since I don't know the contents of the patch, I can't say it's exactly the same install as this but FWIW I'm using qmail to send a monthly newsletter to about 230,000 users on a really annoyingly huge mailing list (the bittersweet fruit of requiring people to register before they can use our free educational materials). Qmail is great for this! I work off the G4 all week long while it sends email in the background and I've really never noticed any load difference while it's sending, although the DNS not found message from lookupd pops up pretty frequently.
One more qmail update
Okay, the tutorial and patch I used were from:

One strangeness I noticed is that I can't find qmailctl anywhere despite it being referenced heavily in the qmail book? Anyone else have this issue?
qmailctl?
Here is the qmailctl file I use on my Linux qmail install. It is actually for RedHat, and I think I modified it slightly for my Slackware Linux install. This is also setup to use daemontools (hence the svc, svstat, etc)

# For Red Hat chkconfig
# chkconfig: - 30 80
