confess! you were bored and wanted to see another "religious war"... :-)
OK, my advise for you is: Postfix.

Sendmail is a big dinosaur that has had its time of fame some years ago.

Qmail is a good choice too, but I do prefer Postfix over those two: it's
easy to configure/manage, fast, secure... and if you come from the
Sendmail-World the learning curve is almost a line, as you don't need to
know too much new things to get familiar with Postfix.


HTH,

Martin
