I haven't used it, but according to Mr. Sam it was developed because
Qmail wasn't enough. For example Qmail accepts messages to non-existing
users, then bounces. Why? Also Qmail isn't smart enough to deliver one
message to a domain with many recipients instead of many copies of the
same message. I guess Courier is the next big thing in open MTAs.
But why would I choose Courier or Qmail if I am some huge ISP for instance?
Huge ISPs require much more scalable models than
run-a-bunch-of-processes-per-connection servers.
I wish to see a good multi-threaded open MTA in the future.
Is it too much to ask for?
