Hi; I don't want sendmail. What's a good secure email server that I can yum? I really only need smtp right now, but who knows what the future will bring?
As others have already suggested, consider Postfix.
I'm putting in my $0.02(US) so I can add my experience when I first had a need for a decent MTA. I had used Sendmail in the past, but I didn't want to fight with the arcane syntax of the config files, and at that time the add-on management tools and scripts were not nearly as friendly to a beginner.
When Postfix was suggested to me, I started reading the docs on their Web site, and discovered that the learning curve is nowhere near as steep as it is with Sendmail. So far, Postfix has done everything I have needed, and with a LOT less pain.
As always, YMMV.
