I second this.
I for one would like to thank Sam for a fine piece of software -- it's certainly been good to me.
I would also like to address a few rediculous notions:
*) Just because a piece of software has more than one developer doesn't mean it will last longer than one that doesn't. The biggest determining factor is if the software is used, not how many people are putting code into it. And having a commercial entity behind it is no guarantee either. I have personally experienced paying $100k for software only to have it go away. I can point you to many examples. And in 99%, the customer is screwed because they don't have the source.
*) Investment in time and training happens with ALL software. Get over
it. If you go with a sendmail solution, you'll have to spend some time learning it. If you go with an Exchange solution, you'll have to spend some time learning it.
*) Complaining that courier is bad because it contains some feature you don't like is silly. If you don't like it, turn it off. If it can't be turned off, get your money back. I'm sure Sam will give you back every last dime you gave him.
*) "Open Source" does not mean open CVS access. It means that if you don't like what you have, you can start your own CVS tree. If Sam's decisions to reject certain patches bother you, you could consider starting a Courier patch repository.
