Postfix, Qmail, Exim, Sendmail etc. are MTAs. Courier is a complete
mailing solution. If you use Postfix or any of the other MTAs, you
need to also install POP/IMAP servers (guess what people usually go
for when they choose this option?), an MDA, an authentication
framework etc. separately and spend time in integrating these software
to the MTA. On the other hand, Courier includes all these pieces and
they interact with each other and works just automagically.

Much as I hate to say this, the best known "other" software comparable
to Courier is MS Exchange - and the only piece missing in Courier is
the Outlook connectivity (and that is Microsoft proprietary). But
Courier also includes an Email to FAX gateway - which I doubt Exchange
has.
