I'm assuming you are using Linux or Unix. My take is that any of Sendmail, Exim or Postfix are fine as MTAs and as a starting point would consider whichever is a default on your OS or distro, as it's more likely to have a good basic setup out of the box.
Yes - it's Linux
It's a Raspberry Pi which doesn't come with an MTA as default. Hence why I need to make a choice. I'm also treating it as a learning experience. This isn't mission critical so a few mistakes along the way won't hurt and will increase my knowledge 🙂
Well, it so happens that both Exim and Postfix come with a "sendmail" command as standard...
Oh! That's helpful information - thank you.
Given everything I now know, Postfix will be the MTA of choice.
