This is probably more on-topic for LIG or LIH. A _very_ dangerous question to
ask. Almost as bad as vi-vs-emacs. ;-)
Frankly, if you aren't going to make a career of admin-ing mail servers, you'd
better stay away from Sendmail. I'd suggest Postfix -- http://www.postfix.org
On the other hand, unless you're talking about thousands of users, any of the
major MTAs (Sendmail, Qmail, Postfix or Exim) would be equivalent. Just use
whatever comes pre-configured with your distro.
