These days,  unless you have very "odd" requirements the LinuxConf GUI will
generate a working sendmail.cf

>>My two concerns are making sure that the mail server plays nice (and
>>easy) with other software out there (PHP, web mail servers, listserv, etc)

>Qmail can do all that and if you don't like it, change it!

I am on the OpenLDAP mailling list (and possibly soon to be integration FAQ
maintainer), the mailman list, etc...

There are many reports that Sendmail, Qmail, and Postfix all work nicely with
Mailman, SMTP clients, LDAP, etc...  The interfaces to these things nicely standard.
