Have you tried Smail3?  Compared to 2.5 it's a *big* clean package that's
still easy to configure and is easier to compile under sysV than sendmail.
The only thing I've found that mailsurr lets you do that isn't easily
done with smail3 is to make decisions based on the sender.  Smail3 is
much more efficient where you have aliases that include mailing lists
that include more aliases (etc...) since it does it all within a single
process.  Also it has a sensible queuing mechanism that (optionally)
lets you deliver everything with a daemon process to dramatically smooth
the load on a busy system, plus decent logging so you can tell what is
happening.
