I've been using Exim for years now, and in several widly varying
installations.  I can heartily recommend it as solid, flexable,
and capable.  And the config file is actually pretty easy to read
even in complex or highly customized configurations.  (Unlike a
certain ancient but still inexplicably popular MTA...)  The FreeBSD
port automatically includes the semi-official ExiScan patchest
which adds the ability to do SpamAssassin and anti-virus scanning
while the SMTP connection is still open.

The Exim mailing list has a pretty high signal-to-noise ratio;
and the folks on it tend to be friendly and helpful.  And there's
very good on-line documentation at http://www.exim.org/
