As others have already suggested, consider Postfix.

I'm putting in my $0.02(US) so I can add my experience when I first had
a need for a decent MTA.  I had used Sendmail in the past, but I didn't
want to fight with the arcane syntax of the config files, and at that
time the add-on management tools and scripts were not nearly as friendly
to a beginner.

When Postfix was suggested to me, I started reading the docs on their
Web site, and discovered that the learning curve is nowhere near as
steep as it is with Sendmail.  So far, Postfix has done everything I
have needed, and with a LOT less pain.

As always, YMMV.
