Qmail was also written from the ground up with security in mind, and
Dan's credentials are pretty good, though he does tend to grate a lot
of people the wrong way.
If you upgrade your FBSD regularly and can run an out of the box
sendmail configuration, you get the advantage of someone else's
efforts at tracking bugs and incorporating features (I'd not call them
features) such as ORBs.
The closest thing to an official recommendation I've found is this
line from the -questions mail:
Received: by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix, from userid 538)
I.e. - the FreeBSD mail servers are running postfix. Next time I have
some spare time and a need to play with mail servers, I'm probably
going to look into postfix.
