It would have been helpful, if you had described briefly what was your
sendmail setup e.g. relaying mail through smart host, authenticating local
users before allowing relay etc.

What is the harm in trying out and finding for yourself? Postfix's
main.cfhas all the conceivable configuration that most sites would
deploy.
+1 to everyone's responses.

I would suggest read the overview doc to see how the various modules work
together <http://www.postfix.org/OVERVIEW.html>
I abandoned sendmail and switched to postfix a long time ago and was glad
that RHEL6/CentOS6 has switched to it as the default MTA. I found postfix
documentation easier to follow. As with any software package, I budgeted
time for a little trial and error got it working for my requirements.
Alternately, you can try iRedMail. It is a collection of scripts that
checks and installs all the requisite packages for an email server with
pop3+imap support + RoundCube web mail; it supports CentOS6.
Try it if you don't want to muck around hand editing conf files. iRedMail
