This could end up being a long drawn out battle. I personally prefer sendmail to any other MTA and have no security issues with it. Like any other piece of software you install it must be maintained.
Sendmail offers everything I need in the virtual hosting environment that I offer customers. Its strong, reliable, easy to maintain, and requires little of my system resources. Even on the larger machines with over 500 domains and 1500 email accounts. Postfix and exim are also excellent MTA. I can't however recommend qmail for its lack of support for later technologies. If you want TLS or Auth SMTP i believe qmail requires you to rely on 3rd party software to integrate that support.
