... though as a longtime qmail fan, I would be inclined to remove it from
this short list if you mean good 'general purpose' MTAs. It's still the
fastest MTA out there, but it's simply not up to snuff for the antispam
fight...  Afaik it is still in use in several major setups as the outgoing
mail relay (yahoo, for instance). 

I've long abandoned qmail in favor of exim; mail processing is way more
complicated now than it was 10 years ago, and qmail lacks a number of
essential features.  Shame, really - it's very secure and very fast.

Thanks,
Ward.
