courier so far

still courier. i don't know much about it securitywise, but it hadn't
failed a couple of us, i'm not saying ever, but those were the times
we and courier "got used to each other".
i didn't have to restart mine since 8 may, and i'm seeing a
friend's running since 28 may, so i am considering courier as
reliable. it has its bugs (what doesn't?), but you learn to work
around them and/or live with them, and its a real workhorse.

it can only handle maildirs and supports maildir++ (in fact i think
it was the first to support it as i think mrsam invented the ++ in
maildir++...), if that is of any concern to you.
