I've used Sendmail, Postfix, and qmail. Sendmail is the MTA the author 
of MailScanner has the most experience with, so I used it as well.

In my situation, all mail is pushed back out via static routes in 
mailertable to toasters. Sendmail is doing nothing but filling an 
in-queue, and emptying an out-queue.  Pretty simple stuff, everything is 
inbound, speed has not been an issue.
