As far as I know, qmail, postfix, sendmail all pre-date courier.  They are all mail 
"widgets".  Sam wrote courier, drawing on the "best-of" all its ancestors, to be a 
complete mail "system".  I chose courier because it's all I needed; alternately, I 
would
have had to marry 3 or 4 different widgets to get what I wanted.

I could also have used Netscape Messaging Server, but it's huge, slow, and expen$ive.

In short, Courier is a complete solution, and is relatively new.
