I've been running Courier-MTA for over a year now in a production environment with 30,000 mailboxes. I have very few complaints.
Our system crashed (twice) after adding a faulty CPU and I experienced no troubles with Courier-MTA or the mail it was passing. Other than that the courier queue processor has crashed a few times, but only once has it failed to restart itself (I had to login remotely and do it myself). This is vastly superior to our previous MTA which was Zmailer.
The only component I've never used is the webmail, and it appears you're not interested in that anyway.

Subject: [courier-users] Stability of courier-mta
Does anyone have any experiences with the stability of
courier-mta? I'm going to set up a mostly-courier system (but with
SquirrelMail instead of courier's webmail), and the other components
appear to have been around for a while, and to be fairly stable. But I
can't find any comments either way on courier-mta, and I was wondering two
basic questions:
1. How is it for stability
2. If it crashes, is there any damage, or can it just be restarted?
PS. for those wondering why I picked SquirrelMail, there are two reasons:
1. There's a SquirrelMail patch which supports the ACAP protocol, and
I'm keen to see ACAP more widely used. For details on ACAP, see:

2. I prefer to keep the web server and the mail server separate
:)
