Qmail Server


I was getting reading to install a mail server on Linux and wanted to use Qmail for MTA (SMTP). I know there is postfix and Sendmail but I wanted Qmail. I tried looking up Qmail and was unable to find this via Apt-Get. Is there a reason why I can't find and install Qmail via Apt-Get?

Code:
stricom:~# apt-get update
Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org testing Release.gpg [378B]
Get:2 http://http.us.debian.org testing Release [32.7kB]

I'm not sure, but I've read somewhere that you need to compile qmail from source due to copyright laws or something. The package is called qmail-src.

I have no clue how to make a salad from source so looks like I will be installing "Postfix".

Thanks!
