Actually, I'm going to go against the grain and recommend Qmail.  I 
migrated my server from Sendmail to Qmail (using the Qmailrocks page: 
http://www.qmailrocks.org) and really like it!  While Qmail can have its 
eccentricities, the Qmailrocks resource really helps getting the server 
up and running, and is a great resource.

But to each his/her own - Find the solution that works best for *you*. :)

Cheers!
Jay

Perhaps I'll learn them all one day, but for now I think I'll start looking first into Postfix, then Courier, and then Sendmail even if I decide to use another since Sendmail seems to be the reigning champion on the internet.
