Hans Reiser would argue that that reflects a limitation of the filesystem, rather than of qmail; and that apps should not have to code around such unreasonable filesystem limitations. And reiserfs goes to considerable effort to achieve good performance on directories containing thousands of small files.
This would imply that if you're going to use qmail in a high-volume environment, you might consider using reiserfs, also.
I'd recommend also tracking/testing reiser4 in your testbed - the early benchmarks on it are quite astounding....
