Actually, I usually untar the contents of the courier-mta tar file and check 
what's there. It
usually sufices. Of course, depending on what kind of backend you will/want to 
use, you'll need more
or less additional experience out of the mta-subject.

Read throughly all of courier's manual pages. There are many tricks in there 
related to how courier
rejects malformed eMails, security aspects, and such. I'm in the courier-users 
mailing lists, and
most questions are answered with rtfm, and in this case, I have to admit that 
the FM is excellent :)

On the other hand, I'd recommend that you play with courier without using 
Maildrop for delivery, and
switch to maildrop once you have the whole system running.

Additionally, courierfilters are very pwoerful, and thus, tend to create some 
complications. Avoid
them in your initial deployments. have a test lab for them. If you are a 
perl-guru, use the provided
perlfilter for courierfilter. It's quite stable and has a great userbase.
