There have to be good reasons to switch though. smail used to be
our standard, but exim was clearly a better choice: it was a lot
easier to configure and performed better as well.

I don't see a reason to change that default again: exim is easy
to configure, extremely flexible, has good documentation, performs
very well and has an excellent security record.

The fact that postfix is a viable alternative is not enough to change
a default imho.
