Exim rocks I've used it for about 8 years.. Postfix is excellent I've
looked at it and it seems pretty easy to work with, I think some may
like it better as it can be administered through webmin (exim you
can't), especially if you want to give some admin privileges. Sendmail's
configuration is not trivial.

I much prefer using Maildir to store mail, works much better when
dealing with a lot of users with a lot of mail.
