Exim

I've been using it on 6 servers for almost 2 years replacing a Windoze
mail server. Exim is a rock-steady reliable MTA (mail transfer agent)
created by Cambridge University (England) but maintained, improved and
developed by outsiders. It is very configurable. It is used by all the
UK's police forces for outbound mail (unsure about inbound) and by the
UK's National Health Service (same Cable & Wireless Contractor).

Exim works with ClamAV, Spam Assassin, Mailman etc. etc.

If interested, you can join the list
https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users and ask questions.

For those liking an easy stress-free life, I sincerely recommend Exim.
However I am sure there are alternatives. Incidentally in Centos Exim is
a "drop-in" replacement for Sendmail. 

yum remove sendmail
yum install exim
