Email Server
Trust me disable sendmail and use Postfix. It is fast powerful and can handle large volumes of mail.

Our company uses an exim4 cluster to handle over 1 million pop3 mailboxes.

I always used to use sendmail but moved to postfix a couple of years ago.
I would recommend qmail or postfix for small to large size systems and as Jason says, Exim for massive systems.

I use Exim on my server that handles my familys emails about 5 accounts works fine and you can use spamassassin and clam as plugins.

If you are looking for something robust, and a great system, use postfix. I have seen multiple postfix threads tearing up the CPU/RAM/Disk on a Dell 6650 spitting out about 1.5million emails an hour. Sendmail is not designed for that kind of locking and message handling. I have seen sendmail choke at 24000 messages an hour, just due to its horrible use of disk access.
If you are looking at a good, stable, simple-powerful system, qmail is the way to go. It is a bit better than postfix at handling a large amount of incoming mail on an already-busy server.
Let us know what you decided on.
Best,
