I second the Postfix recommendation. I cannot compare it to Exim or
qmail, because I've never used those (although qmail supporters tend to
be extremely enthusiastic, so it must have something going for it).

Compared to sendmail, postfix is easier-to-configure, relatively
secure by default, and faster. I am not sure that sendmail has any
advantages for users without legacy issues. NetBSD now provides
Postfix as part of their standard distribution, which is something
I wish the FreeBSD developers would consider!
