Postfix, in the ports. Sponsored by IBM, IIRC.
qmail - www.qmail.org, touts itself as the most secure, fastest mail-server
available. It\'s not that \"drop-in\", but it also is much easier to configure.
Hotmail uses it, gmx and probably a whole lot of other webmailers.
I\'ve used it (on Linux), and I can\'t complain on its stability.
