I've never used Exim, but don't see any reason to learn yamta when I
already know postfix and sendmail.  What one of those two can't do
can't be done :)

I don't like either of them over the other, I know them both
moderately well.  I think postfix is easier to configure, sendmail
more flexible ('cuz you just don't know when you'll need to move mail
from an smtp-based network to an ftp-over-ncp based network ;)

Seriously, though, I don't think there's another MTA which
out-of-the-box, supports such a large variety of mail transfer
protocols, including SMTP, ESMTP, DECnet's mail11, HylaFax, QuickPage
and UUCP. (though, these days, I'm not sure who's still using many of these :)
