I think sendmail developed a reputation for insecure code some time ago, but 
they have resolved all known (major) issues. I also think sendmail was (one 
of) the first MTAs - written during simpler times before most of the world's 
idle assholes were equipped with PCs and cheap Internet access.

I like sendmail, and I trust it - mostly because it has endured. But I am not 
an evangelist... I'd encourage you to try any other MTA's you see fit 
(available in ports), and draw your own conclusions.
