Mr. Sam's code seems to be pretty solid. We're using Courier-IMAP
together w/ qmail and vpopmail. However, I would be a little
uncomfortable using it in a production environment until it has obtained
a little maturity. There are still bugs being found and squashed fairly
regularly...
qmail, on the other hand, is as rock-solid MTA.
Just my personal opinion. I don't know enough C to truly evaluate the
code on either one.
