Sendmail to Qmail ?'s

I am contemplating going from Sendmail to Qmail. I am running a
Redhat 9 server. I plan on following the tutorial and using the
installation packages from http://www.qmailrocks.org. What I want to
know is are there any problems anyone has run into using this type of
install or going from Sendmail to Qmail. I have a few websites
running on the server that have email accounts as well and really dont
want much downtime. Any advice?

OH...and am I going to loose email in users mailboxes on this upgrade...???

A smart move.

For your own sanity, plus the availability of more widespread support
should something go wrong, I would _STRONGLY_ recommend that you use
http://www.lifewithqmail.com as a guide to install qmail.
