We are using exim; we have about a thousand mailboxes. It has never hiccuped, and we've been using it for about six months. We moved from Novell's BorderManager SMTP proxy (which was NOT AT ALL reliable and not very configurable).
We didn't use sendmail because it has such archaic syntax, which in our opinion made administrator error much more possible.
OTOH, one of my security-consultant cronies swears by "postfix" both from an ease-o-configuration and stability standpoint. But exim has worked well for us.

My IPP (Internet presence provider), DigitalSpace (www.digitalspace.net),
uses exim. They have at least four Red Hat Linux-based boxen responsible for
hosting thousands of virtual hosts. I was on one of their hosts (a RH 5.2
one) where exim processes would hang, and eventually fester a DoS situation.
I've since moved to a 6.2-based box, where things have been much stabler,
exim and otherwise.
