Sendmail, hands down. There are only a couple of small changes you need to make to set it up for your environment. People bitch about security problems with sendmail. If you don't keep up with security updates I don't care what MTA you use you're going to have problems. As long as you keep up with your security updates sendmail is just fine. Been using it for over a decade in both small and very very large environments and never had a problem. Thomas
