I wouldn't agree that Postfix is more secure than Qmail. In fact, Mr. Bernstein (the creator of qmail has a bit about just that on his web site at http://cr.yp.to/qmail/warfield.html).
I originally ran sendmail, then switched to postfix. It was nice, I personally had no problems with it and found it quite simple to set up and maintain (my uses are not that complex). When I went to implement the ArsDigita Community System (http://www.arsdigita.com/products), the recommended the use of qmail, esp. to use their webmail package. So I switched. Qmail may be slightly more complex than Postfix to set up, but I have found it to be extremely stable, and I have not found any documented evidence of any security problems. You may read over the http://cr.yp.to web site at bit.
Thank you for the pointers. An objective comparison of the current state of these MTA is probably in order.

Have a look at postfix (http://www.postfix.org). Probably the most secure of them three.
