I have used sendmail as the MTA It is easy to configure it to transfer mail to a 'smart host' from a desktop. It gets harder the more pieces of it you choose to use. Make sure you get the 'bat book' Sendmail!!!
Careful, anyone saying sendmail is easy to configure may find mental health workers closing in on them with a straight jacket :-).
I find postfix plenty confusing, but far simpler to deal with than sendmail.
It did take me two years, and sometimes I needed a straight jacket for myself. I still don't pretend to know everything sendmail does, but it finally became easy to use. :)
I have not had the time or need to use postfix, but I hear it works without the use of pharmacological products for the mail administrator. You are probably right :)
