Do Postfix. It is secure, stable, and easy to configure. The Postfix 
discussion list is populated by helpful humans. qmail, which is a very nice 
program, is less user-friendly, and the mail list is dominated by freaks, 
flamers, and psychotics. Requests for help are flamed and reamed. The qmail 
list is so notorious there's even a Yahoo group devoted to the Worst of 
qmail: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/worst_of_qmail/
