What is Courier?

The Courier mail transfer agent (MTA) operates as an all-encompassing mail and groupware server that employs well-established protocols like ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, LDAP, SSL, and HTTP. It provides a cohesive platform that offers various services, including ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and mailing list options, enabling users to easily toggle specific features on or off based on their needs. Recently, the Courier mail server has rolled out essential web-based calendaring and scheduling tools within its webmail module, with intentions to develop more advanced groupware calendaring options in the near future. Importantly, the source code for the Courier mail server is crafted to compile across most POSIX-compliant operating systems that run on Linux or BSD-derived kernels, and it is also compatible with Solaris and AIX systems, assuming users employ the correct freeware add-on tools from Sun or IBM. The evolution of the Courier mail server is based on a synthesis of various interconnected projects that have shaped its present configuration, and it also integrates SMTP extensions designed to improve mailing list management capabilities. This makes Courier not just a flexible mail server, but also a valuable collaborative resource for users seeking efficient communication and organizational solutions. As the demand for integrated communication tools continues to grow, Courier is likely to expand its offerings to meet evolving user needs.
