My choice is Postfix.  It's still under active development and isn't hampered 
by bizarre licensing and enormous egos.

Furthermore, Qmail seems to have earned its reputation for security the 
standard DJB way: by implementing only the easy parts of the standard and 
complaining loudly about the hard parts ("those are insecure!") until 
everyone quits asking for them.

All technical debates aside, Qmail isn't F/OSS software.  They couldn't ship 
it without getting a custom license.
