I suppose if you wanted to be completely technical about it, qmail, although
it does include smtp and pop3 programs with the distribution, in a ROCK
Bottom installation is only a delivery agent accepting messages from the
local host - you have to manually add the operation of the program
qmail-smtpd in order to get smtp service, and add qmail-pop3d to get pop3
service.
So I think a good answer is: You are right. Qmail itself does not support
any method of windows access.
Though you could probably use qmail-smtpd to accept messages and qmail-pop3d
to distribute messages. If you wanted to, for whatever reason. (Though
windows is probably a poor reason indeed) >:)
