Seconded.

I admin a few servers for small businesses and host a handful of websites,
and Courier provides an all-in-one email solution for everyone. Virtual
domain support, IMAP, and Webmail all rolled into one package, built and
installed in under 30 minutes, with just a "configure; make; make install".

Every now and then someone mentions something about these "error" messages
they're getting. I explain to them how Microsoft (or whoever the culprit
is, but 80% of the time it's Hotmail or MSN) refuses to follow Internet 
standards, give a brief, lay description of what the problem is and how
easy it would be to write standards-conformant software, and leave it to
the individual to guess the reasons why the company won't fix things.
Finally, I encourage them to follow the Courier instructions, and report
the problem to the source.

It tends to work.

I applaud Sam. If more people had the backbone to stand up for what is 
right, the Web (and the world) would be a better place.
