Sendmail has a long history with bugs and security problems (this say
the legend, I never used it).
Postfix is probably the most updated and with an active development MTA
at this moment.
I love qmail, but I recognize that probably is not the best solution for
a new e-mail server, especially if the sysadmin didn't use it never.

By other hand, maybe you should consider based your mail server in
other
MTA, for example postfix.
I will second this - I've used qmail for many years, really like it, but
it is getting more and more difficult to run on newer servers. Postfix
is an excellent alternative and certainly a very secure/stable MTA -
with all (most?) of the features you'll need/want out of the box. Qmail
with extra features, even something basic like SMTP Auth, TLS, SMTPS
will require patching.
