Use exim.  It is easier to configure right, and has had fewer security
exploits found in it.

I remember reading on a different list, or was it the Linux Journal article
that there has not been a security exploit for quite a while. In fact LJ had
a half way decent article this month  about setting up Sendmail as your
MTA.

I've used exim on one box, and postfix on the other. They are both
set up for local mail only and found that both were fairly easy to set up.
