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.
