I'm running Courier 0.66.1 as distributed with Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS,
which is probably not the latest.  I'd hate to have to abandon and
freeze the packaged version in favor of building Courier from a more
recent source, but it wouldn't be the first time I've had to do that.
Bypassing a distribution's package management system always seems to
introduce "issues".

Can Courier be configured to do this?  Or would this be a feature
request?
