Multply that by a dozen servers AND every time a new version
of courier-mta comes out vs apt-get, no comparison.

It's not like Sam has to allow courier-mta to become defiled
by not being the most compliant MTA out there... it's just a
"couple of patched lines of source" that could allow many (I
guess) courier-mta users to have a run-time choice in the
matter. Even attachments from NetworkSolutions don't work.

Yes to the last one. Every time I try to self-maintain various
patched versions of any particular package then that need and
situation deteriorates into a disaster over time but that's my
problem, not courier-mta or this lists.

This is an example of the crap I have to deal with. Maybe I'm
the only ISP-tech on this list with even a moderate amount of
real-world users trying to justify courier-mta.
