 From http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html

"You are permitted to distribute a precompiled var-qmail package if (1) 
installing the package produces exactly the same /var/qmail hierarchy as a 
user would obtain by downloading, compiling, and installing 
qmail-1.03.tar.gz........."

There are RPM's & .deb's floating about out there.
