you could always use Sendmail ... It's reliable, and flexible, if you can work out the configuration for it ... but Postfix is a damn sight easier to get working.
My biggest bug bears with Postfix are the inability to use "sendmail -bv" for testing aliases and the fact that a person in multiple aliases will get the email more than once e.g: managers: toddc sales: managers, toddc then send an email to sales and the message will go to "toddc" twice ...
