No matter what - experience *always* counts for a lot.

I like Courier a lot, but if I had to choose between running Courier with no
experience - or Postfix with experience - I'd take Postfix.

[replace "Courier" and "Postfix" with basically any product name. Still the
same]

BTW: Courier is more than a MTA (unlike Postfix, Sendmail and Qmail) - it
includes authentication modules, POP, IMAP, listserver and Web components
too. So chances are, there are more problems with Courier than those others
(sorry Sam ;-). That's just a probability issue of course - no proof so far
(touch wood ;-)
