postfix is pretty simple, works really well out of the box and is very 
powerful if you want to do fancier things with it.

I avoid sendmail - I quit using it around 12 years ago and have never 
missed it.  I'm sure it's changed over that time, but in general it is 
far more arcane than it should be.

I'll let someone else speak to exim, I've never used that one.

Sounds like your needs are pretty modest, so it probably doesn't matter 
that much, but I would generally steer you towards postfix as it isn't 
too demanding, and doesn't require much care and feeding.
