Well, maybe not issues, but there are new dependencies, so that needs
testing... and I like to keep number of dependencies minimal.

But it is still relevant - being the second one, even if with some loss
compared to previous year, I think. And I see nothing about smtp here,
only many unknowns... do not confuse courier and courier-imap, as is
often the case even on courier's mauiling lists...

I can't actually make a comparison. But I like courier being the
complete solution, one package covering all protocols and features
(smtp, pop3, imap, http based webmail, maildrop filtering, mailing list
and some others) and its configuration structure is for me relatively
easy to understand. But that's personal preference, for sure.
