* Sendmail and Postfix both support milters, for which there are a variety. * qmail is dated as stated above.* Can't say I know much about Exim, but for all of the above mentioned MTAs, you can get comprehensive anti-spam support with BarricadeMX (blatant shameless plug) in front of any MTA (even Exchange (blows nose in general direction)).
I am currently running sendmail in a very basic configuration and haven't tried out other MTAs yet.
I prefer Sendmail 8.x, because that is what I started with and took great efforts to learn (spent money on The Bat book, was given a gold shirt :-D ). Others prefer Postfix. There is also Sendmail X renamed MeTA1, which has a similar separation of tasks like Postfix.
You have to specify which stuff you need. A basic setup is possible with all of them.
