Nullmailer; why put a full blown MTA on your voice box -- nullmailer has its 
own queue and hands off everything to your favourite SMTP machine instead of 
trying to deliver to all the endpoints itself.  This keeps your mail system 
centralized and the control in one place, which is far easier to maintain 
that a full-blown MTA for ever server you have.

If you insist on a full MTA, Postfix gets my vote; it's every bit as secure as 
qmail (I have been using qmail for close to a decade now) but without the 
billion patches required to give qmail any kind of modern functionality.
