Maybe, but I've seen better performance from postfix in the past when directly benchmarked against exim. All depends on the specific circumstances though, but my personal preference is to go postfix, then qmail (with around 600 patches to bring it up-to-date feature-wise), then exim. I've seen mailloss in exim queue on specific filesystems which don't seem to be problematic with posfix queue.

Whichever you go with though, they're fairly solid MTA's.
