I assume "smal" == "smail".  I don't recommend smail, although I use
it myself.  I'm having problems with queues not getting run and things
like that.  I also had security problems with past versions.
Configuration is as bad as sendmail in its own way.

qmail has a reputation as "bugless" (I know several people who make
most of their---rather comfortable---livings as qmail consultants to
large ISPs and corporate sites).  exim is supposed to be manageable
configuration-wise.  postfix is apparently an up-and-coming MTA, but I
know little about it.  I suspect that exim is the best for this purpose.
