I use postfix, I think general opinion is that it's a little simpler than sendmail for a beginner (which I certainly was), plus it's had fewer security issues that I've been able to find.
I do the same thing you want to do, but with Exchange behind it on a box running Redhat 9.0, Postfix and Spamassassin as per this walkthrough - http://www.advosys.ca/papers/printable/postfix-filtering.html, it's a "one size fits everyone" solution, but it works a charm. One other suggestion, and something that I found useful is to install Webmin, maybe it's just me but it made learning about Postfix a lot easier simply because it splits all the options into the relevent areas. Whilst I never tried Sendmail it does have a Sendmail module.
