You're liable to get a LOT of opinion on this.  Personally, the only thing
I have against sendmail is that it's configuration makes me dizzy.

I use Postfix, and I recommend it to most, as it does a nice job of
being secure, yet easy to configure.

I've been using Dovecot for quite some time now.  It's not even a 1.0
product yet, and I still find it excellent for both POP and IMAP.  It
includes support for both POP3S and IMAPS, which I find very important
in this day and age.

Postfix delivering to maildirs + Dovecot for POP3S/IMAPS makes a very
reliable and secure setup in my opinion.
