I've always found exim's configuration to be formidable. It is
configurable but not easially configurable. You do have the read the (very
long) documents detailing the mechanics for what is going on and have to
understand them before you can attempt anything more than a trivial
modification.
After that it is not terribly bad.. But definately not something I would
wish on someone who does not understand mail.
qmail is definately the easiest to setup there is no configuration
language you need to learn. However if you want to do anything outside of
what is provided then you have to start writing scripts/code/whatever.
I haven't looked at vmail but I'm hoping it's much the same as qmail..
