Re: [courier-users] Thanks Sam
the learning curve is indeed very steep, but the package is rock stable. Compared to sendmail, courier is a cakewalk. Some of the config file setup is a little too arcane for words but it all seems to be documented. I wanted to bitch about the 0.29-upgrade config-file change, but that took me a whole half hour... thanks sam :P I'll second that!

[courier-users] Thanks Sam
Just wanted to send a quick word of thanks. I'm the IT Administrator of a small college here in Oxford, UK. I wanted to put in a decent mail server that was standards compliant and supported IMAP and a webmail interface. I chose Courier, after much investigation. Even though the initial learning curve was steep, I'm glad I did. We have just finished our first academic year using Courier, 0.35 initially, moving up to 0.38 when it came out. With around 330 users, and lots of mail traffic, both internally, and to other addresses around the UK and indeed the world, performance (on a single 633MHz Celeron based machine, 256MB RAM, IDE disks) has been very good. Although I will be moving it to a 1GHz CPU RAID box this summer. I have to say that the software has been superb. The few problems I *have* encountered have mostly been either down to me messing up the configuration, or to users being stupid. Thanks again Sam, Courier is a wonderful piece of work indeed.

Re: [courier-users] Thanks Sam
sad but true, we often bitch about the problems and never take the time to send thanks when we're satisfied. we from an old Sparc 1 with sendmail (about 4500 users) to courier and i'm glad we did. the learning curve is indeed very steep, but the package is rock stable. thanks sam :P - Original Message - From: Scott Morizot [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 12:56 PM Subject: Re: [courier-users] Thanks Sam On 15 Jul 2002, at 17:03, Sean M.

RE: [courier-users] Thanks Sam
I'm going to jump on the bandwagon here. I've been watching the list for a few months now and never had occasion to post anything. I've never had a problem with Courier, including webmail. I have version 0.37 authenticating from MySQL flawlessly on i386 Redhat 7.2. From start I have had absolutely no problems thanks to very thorough documentation. Thanks.

I agree wholeheartly. I've been running courier since 0.29-1 and have nothing but praise for this excelent piece(s) of Software and his author.

Re: [courier-users] Thanks Sam
I'd like to thank Mr.Sam and the ppl posting useful info on the archives. I've recommended courier to an elance client after using it for myself, and he was most pleased of the results of my installation.

Re: [courier-users] Thanks Sam
Beside of big thank you I would like also to call for everybody who thinks that Courier is best mail suite out there to take time to vote for courier on different polls and review websites. I think that's the least I could do to give back.

Re: [courier-users] Thanks Sam
Thanks from me, too. I'm also damn happy with courier. I may have to hack parts of it soon, so if that goes as easily as it used to with qmail, I'll be thanking Sam again then. So, in order: Thanks for developing courier rapidly and openly Thanks for putting it under the gpl Thanks for dealing with messy issues in reasonable ways (sometimes bending and sometimes not). Thanks for making installation easy. Thanks for designing a reasonable authentication scheme. Yeah. -Peter On Mon, Jul 15, 2002 at 02:14:06PM -0400, Roberto de Iriarte wrote: I agree wholeheartly.
