qmail isn't bloated like certain other MTAs that include every feature
possible in a single binary.

The code for the core part of OpenSSL has almost twice as lines as qmail.
It has also had several security holes.  Do you really want to stuff all of
that into the SMTP server?

Due to qmail's modularity, you can add SMTP AUTH or TLS without modifying
qmail-smtpd:

You might also take an alternate approach: replace qmail-smtpd with a
different SMTP server:
