Qmail for me ... extensive filtering & a couple of SMTP routes...plus it's a 
piece of cake to plonk a POP toaster into :) Qmail lacks at fancy 
header-rewriting stuff, but a lot of the time you don't need it, or it can be 
handled at the client side ... ther server should /very rarely/ have to 
rewrite headers :)

I've no idea what AUTH is (though I can guess) nor STARTTLS (which I can't 
guess), and for my single person installation, I doubt they're needed :) I 
gave up with sendmail when I tried to configure it one day...it's a mare :)
