If you have no experience with either of these 3, then probably Postfix might be the one of the MTA with the most "intuitive" configuration syntax (Postfix users like to propagate this - I know a lot of people seeing things not that clear as the fans claim them to be). I prefer Sendmail as I have experience with it from over several years. You are able to find a lot of documentation and howtos for all 3 MTAs on the WWW. If you have zero knowledge about mail server, then please do yourself and the internet a favour and don't run one public reachable. You will have to know much, not only about the mail topic itself, but about DNS and other involved services. Running a mail server touches many RFCs and you can quickly become the "bad guy" and your server being blacklisted. Read the many documentation, make experience in a local, non public network.
