Sendmail comes installed and is the mail transport agent (MTA) which
handles more of the Internet's mail.  The ports collection also includes
qmail, postfix, and exim among others.  The qmail program is popular
because it was written from the ground up with security in mind.  Postfix
is newer and has similar design goals to qmail except that it was designed
with the idea of looking like sendmail from a user perspective.  Posifix
is used to power the FreeBSD.org mail server.  I don't really know
anything about exim, but some people swear by it.
