I've been using Apache James for a couple of years very successfully and am very happy with it.
For plain mail delivery it's probably on par with the rest, but if you want to do more than simple mail, it's a winner. You can imbed it in tomcat if you want, run it standalone, use a db for mail storage, spooling etc etc You can also create mailets, which allows you to add your own logic to the mail process; his allows you to use email as a simple transport for anything you want. I use it extensively to convert emails to sms's, processing attachments, even updating user profiles if emails bounce. It's really cool.

So is "Exim" better than "Sendmail" in terms of robustness and faster service?

I migrated from Smail, and also operated an MMDF descendant called PMDF for several years, so that may explain my preference. I would suggest investigating several different MUAs and deciding which one best balances the capability you need with the pain of configuring it. Properly setting up an MUA, *any* MUA, is not simple. -- Mark H.
