Postfix now has milter capabilities. We are in the process of migrating our
mail server to Postfix, and the set and config is soooo much simpler. Not to
mention that Postfix is magnitudes move secure than sendmail. The
process/priv separation that Postfix engages in makes things modular,
efficient, and secure. I reccommend Postfix. I heard good things about
qmail and exim, too, but have never used either.
