I can vouch for the stability. I handle three installations of Courier MTA - one of them with about 100 domains, 5000+ email addresses and about 20-30 thousand emails a day. Not a single hiccup so far in about 5 months of operation. Features of courier are numerous. Apart from those mentioned by Suresh, there is web based configuration, support for virtual domains via postgres/mysql/ldap/vsomething (vhostmgr?)/flat files, painless and configuration preserving upgrade path, SSL/TLS, Basic calendaring, a local delivery system with a scripting interface similar to procmail (maildrop), mailbox quotas, support for legacy sendmail/qmail stuff (.forward/.qmail), a mailing list manager (couriermlm) with all the regular MLM features etc. are just some of them. Sam is of the opinion that there is no point in writing the RFCs in the first place, if no one is willing to follow them. Initially it used to be a problem with me too, but now I have learned to live with it. And like it. And defend the policies with the PHB types. Courier IMAP, SqWebMail and Courier maildrop are also released as separate standalone packages, hence the confusion, I suppose.
