I played around with Exim a bit, but I found that I felt "better" about postfix's process model (many tiny daemons, running with reduced privledge) than exim's. Personally, I found postfix to be easier to configure; however, that's almost certainly a personal preference. I have friends who use exim and really like it; both of them are very capable MTAs. I'm not sure if exim does this or not, but postfix follows a "queue always" model, which means that outgoing email feels faster, since it just gets put into the queue, instead of trying to deliver it immediately, and only queueing if it can't be delivered.
