I currently run Postfix which is wonderful to administer and configure. I'm about to experiment with Exim and may switch to it soon if I like it. PHP doesn't need to know about the MTA: both Exim and Postfix provide a 'sendmail' executable which is 100% compatible with the real sendmail, so PHP won't know the difference.
