courier is awesome, it supports lots of goodies out of the box and is 
easy to install and configure. The only reason I chose to go with cyrus 
on my OGo boxen is the support for server side filtering (needed for 
using the filter interface in OGo as well as vacation support)

Its also nice if you don't have local unix user accounts, but instead 
get your authentication/authorization information from something like 
LDAP.

The added bonus of saslauthd support is a god-send as well.
