If you're familiar with sendmail, why not stick with it? I've used it for years and continue to do so for the simple fact that I haven't the time to figure out how to do everything using [qmail|Exim|Postfix| other MTA]. If you *do* have the time to learn a new MTA, knock yourself out. Exim is Debian's default, qmail is probably the most secure, and I've heard good things about Postfix. Flip a quarter or something, knock yourself out. :)

Does anyone have any views on the best MTA - no flame wars please ;-) I was looking to install Postfix with Cyrus for IMAP support. I need to check up on the folder and sub folder handling of the IMAP side of things, but having noticed that Exim is installed by default with Debian I thought I'd re-evaluate my choices. I've only really used Sendmail so far. Had a brief look at Qmail and didn't like the way you configured aliases much.
