Postfix is very secure, from IBM, and has now a fair amount of features. There's also Qmail for the ultimate in security (not to be confused by the old FidoNet program by the same name!), but I've never tried it and due to djb's bad attitude and lack of open source credentials to his software (hence making it not packaged as binaries in Debian and derivatives (e.g. Ubuntu)) I don't recommend it. Plus I'm sure it's not as simple as Postfix, which is easy - especially compared to Sendmail, who's configuration file format is in an alien tongue.
