I wouldn't call Sendmail's interface "nicer". More powerful, yes, but
considerably more complex. As far as I know, it's also specific to
SMTP, whereas Courier's API works with all mail sources. Courier could
mostly emulate milter, and you'd get a few benefits -- callbacks on MAIL
FROM and RCPT TO, which would mostly help greylisting, and also the
ability to modify messages directly. However, I doubt that the code
complexity would justify the marginal operational advantages of the
interface.
