Qmail has a very limited set of features, it is simple efficient and pretty easy to setup, and has a track record as a secure alternative to sendmail. Postfix I think is the flexible and popular alternative to sendmail. It supports most if not all of sendmail features and easily integrates with a number of filtering solutions as well as imap and ldap servers.
