Qmail has performed quite well for me. But for a less radical departure from
the sendmail camp www.exim.org is worth looking at. the command line is
sendmail compatible. the config file is human readable. top notch anti-spam
support built in and many of the capabilities which make qmail good are also
present. (i.e. secure delivery over NFS, Maildir support, etc.)

I didn't particularly want to learn a new mailer, but I needed to implement
something which supported /var/mail delivery without the headaches and
inefficiencies of sendmail. qmail is good for high volume mailing list
handling and when you don't have too much invested in a sendmail like
environment. (read: hundreds of users with /home and /var/mail NFS mounted.)
qmail was out of the question in that kind of setup unless it was there from
the beginning.
