Two words -- replication and redundancy. We already have systems in place which make use of replicated MySQL databases for load-balancing and redundancy. Allowing Courier (or whichever MTA, although since Courier already has SQL auth & virtual-hosting it's a natural choice) to store & retrieve messages in replicated SQL tables immediately makes it *really* scalable across multiple servers & locations.
