My department at work runs its own mail system (separate from the rest 
of the company's Exchange fiasco), and it is less than satisfying for 
those of us trying to be remote users (especially when being a remote 
user at a conference or public meeting over a wireless network).  So I'm 
trying to convince them to switch to Courier because of the smtp-auth 
and starttls features.

Despite the fact they are already sold on Courier IMAP, they seem to be 
stuck on Postfix and don't want to switch to the Courier MTA.  Now, 
Postfix is good, but you have to apply multiple patches to get the 
feature set we want (last time I checked, anyway).  Hence, they are slow 
to move on the project, despite the fact that Courier has theses 
features "out of the box".

So the excuse I get for Courier vs. Postfix is "security."  And the 
completely subjective comment, "I don't think Courier is as secure as 
Postfix." (I equate this mentality to the Linux vs. Windows argument of 
"I think Linux is harder to support." -- completely subjective and no 
way to defeat it because there is no way to measure it).  Anyway, are 
there any large and fairly exposed installations of the Courier MTA 
running to show that it indeed is safe?  Customer testimonials?
