I'll say Sendmail just cause it hasn't been mentioned. What's left qmail?

Really, just go to the websites and real the install doc's and go with
the one that you feel most comfortable with. There is no fear of
sendmail, postfix, qmaim or exim not being maintained so it's really up
to you and what you want to do. I know sendmail can relay and there are
add-on's for IMAP/POP (never used em').

Nothing slack specific other than the old secure, patch, monitor and
improve dance.

good luck
