I'd go for sendmail, personally.  Anyone who says sendmail is hard to
configure hasn't used the .mc macro config method, plus by sendmail
being the de-facto unix MTA, lots of people know how to get it to do
stuff.

Then again, you remember how eager I was to move off of qmail and onto
sendmail at NeTraverse, so this should come as no surprise. ;-)
