I can't believe no-one's mentioned Exim (http://www.exim.org/) yet -
doddle to configure (particularly things like virtual domains) and as
far as I understand it pretty secure.  I spent a while deliberating
between this and Postfix
for my servers but plumped for Exim after a short evaluation.  Given
that I couldn't seperate them on the basis of security I went for Exim
on usability.  I say install both on a test machine and give them a
whirl - but maybe someone here can offer a petter perspective on the
security comparison...
