What is a good smtp server to go with it in terms of security and reliability?

The most secure in absolute terms is qmail[1] but I found OpenSMTPd[2] to be a joy to work with, something that can not be said for any other SMTPd system I worked over the years (postfix, sendmail horror, exim, qmail and OpenSMTPd). OpenSMTPd seems to be fairly secure[3].

Use postfix. It's (one of the, it not the) most common, and it's got a security secord to rival dovecot (the author is competent and cares). It integrates with everything under the sun for filtering. There's good documentation in the form of bundled text files.

Don't use qmail unless you really want to, as you need to patch it up a lot in any modern setting. And don't use sendmail if postfix will suffice. Exif will also do the job but there's really nothing it does better than the others.
