The app is vulnerable if it runs in an unsafe environment that allows qmail to access more than 4GB (an absurdly large value when qmail was published in 1997 -- it would cost $5000 plus a rare, expensive machine to hold it).
djb's view is that the environment is the responsibility of the admin, not the program's responsibility to enforce sane defaults. This is of course debatable.
If the admin uses a recommended environment (low memory limit), there is no exploitability.
