Another vote for Postfix.  The problem with sendmail isn't just 
the configuration difficulties, it's the speed.  Sendmail is dog 
slow compared to just about every other MTA out there.

Postfix and QMail tend to be the fastest MTAs around (at least on 
UNIX--I haven't seen them benched next to MS Exchange).
