I went looking for some statistics on how Courier-MTA stacks up against other MTA packages - something similar to Netcraft's web server survey. I found nada. I did find one page at <http://shearer.org/MTA_Comparison> implying that Courier-MTA isn't really a MTA at all, although this was from 2007.
Qmail still seems to be popular, in spite of its lack of modernization and developer support, and its quirky license. Courier, which is well-maintained and supported, GPL licensed, and appears to have a wide international user base, is seldom mentioned at all. Does anyone have any stats, or reference to recent surveys, with some figures? I've been trying forever to get the Mailman list server developers (<http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman>) to include a courier-to-mailman list insertion script for courier which I wrote _years_ ago. It finally made it to the contrib collection (along with qmail-to-mailman) but unlike the qmail script it has never been properly integrated into configure.in so as to be properly installed by the build scripts. I don't think many of the Mailman devs have even heard of Courier-MTA, although Courier-IMAP seems to be reasonably popular. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Fighting against human creativity is like FMP Computer Services | trying to eradicate dandelions" 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | -- Pamela Jones ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
