Andrey,

I can't speak of exim or qmail, but I had used sendmail for nearly 10  
years before switching to postfix.  I switched was for support of  
virtual mail boxes, and better support for IMAP.  Regardless of the  
software you choose, it's to your benefit to figure out what you want  
to do in the long run, and choose the software that is best going to  
allow you to achieve those goals.
