I use qmail. Its touted to be very secure, which was my #1 goal.  
Proving that is above my pay grade, but I can say I have had no  
problems, which is a big improvement over my last server which ran  
Linux and sendmail.

It also logs a lot of information about what it's doing, and has a  
bunch of command line tools to help you analyze it.
