Wrong question.
Not "what is the application 'qmail'" (I'm quite aware, thanks). But "what is the token 'qmail'" evaluated to by the shell.
If you prefer: "which qmail".

That's a a good question. The mail client (most boxes uses mailx to implement it these days) is normally just 'mail'. and qmail would normally be in an sbin dir.

Note: the question applies to all executed commands.
> qmail is a mail transfer agent (MTA) that runs on Unix. It was written, starting December 1995, by Daniel J. Bernstein as a more secure replacement for the popular Sendmail program; qmail's source code is in the public domain.
