  well....that's a sticky question, we quickly get into the realm of
  opinion, opinion based upon running the FreeBSD mailing lists for
  several years (and other sources) but opinion none the less.

  Postfix is the only one of the three that I believe may become a
  standard mailer with the robustness, efficiency and support that is
  required.  Postfix has proven to be an excellent mta for the FreeBSD
  mailing lists (you've been soaking in it for months).
