I've lots of experience with Sendmail (both the open source MTA and the
commercial offerings) and our main application is built around it. The
flexibility that the rulesets provide (over and above what can be done
with milters) is important to us.
We did experiment with Postfix a few years back when it gained a milter
interface of its own but stuck with Sendmail.
