At the very least give maildrop a go. I was a die-hard procmail user for
many years, but was beginning to have too many occassions of procmail
swallowing all the RAM on my workstation to process a large mail message
(procmail does all processing in RAM). maildrop uses tempfiles and so
doesn't have that problem, but in all other respects appears to do
everything procmail does.
The rest of Courier is great too - fully ESMTP support for DSN, TLS/SSL,
AUTH along with all the goodies of Qmail we've come to love.
But as the docs state - it's not the number-crunching monster Qmail is - it
can't beat Qmail on throughput - but for site receiving less than (say) a
million messages a day - it won't matter ;-)
BTW, Courier does SMTP, IMAP, Webmail with native support for LDAP/PAM/MySQL
auth backends... Pretty bloody comprehensive...
Just my opinion.
