that's what we are using as well.

Most importantly, do yourself a favor and use Simon's RPMs:

We currently use amavisd-new and miltrassassin for that, but we have 
started using MIMEDefang for greylisting and are looking into using that 
for everything. If I had to set up from the beginning, that's what I would 
probably do. We use Sophos and ClamAV for the actual virus scanning.

Then go with sendmail. I decided to install sendmail 8.13.1 using the SPEC 
from Fedora Core 2, but if you don't need the new features the one that 
comes with RHEL 3 is fine.
