About OpenSMTPD
OpenSMTPD is a free implementation of the server-side SMTP protocol as defined by RFC 5321, with some additional standard extensions. It allows ordinary machines to exchange emails with other systems speaking the SMTP protocol. Started out of dissatisfaction with other implementations, OpenSMTPD is a fairly complete SMTP implementation. OpenSMTPD is primarily developed by Gilles Chehade and Eric Faurot, with contributions from various OpenBSD hackers and members from other communities.

Courier
The Courier mail transfer agent (MTA) is an integrated mail/groupware server based on open commodity protocols, such as ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, LDAP, SSL, and HTTP. Courier provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and mailing list services within a single, consistent, framework. Individual components can be enabled or disabled at will. The Courier mail server now implements basic web-based calendaring and scheduling services integrated in the webmail module. Advanced groupware calendaring services will follow soon.
The Courier mail server's source code should compile on most POSIX-based operating systems based on Linux, and BSD-derived kernels. The Courier mail server should also compile on Solaris and AIX, with some help from Sun's or IBM's freeware add-on tools for their respective operating systems.
The Courier mail server evolved out of several related projects, that merged together (more on that later). The Courier mail server implements SMTP extensions for mailing list management.

Eudora Internet Mail Server
Completely rewritten relay restrictions with an easier to use interface that gives finer control over relay security. New domain name resolver (DNR), EIMS now has it's own DNR, which works around bugs in the Open Transport DNR and performance problems with the OS X DNR. The new DNR does not currently support non-recursive DNSs. SMTP Submit port, this is a second SMTP port running on TCP port 587 by default. It currently works exactly the same as the standard SMTP port. This is handy for clients that are stuck behind an ISP that blocks port 25 access. Sending Setup option for maximum recipients per message. Expand SMTP Addresses option, you can now turn this off, with EIMS 3.1 and earlier it was always on. The SMTP server (both port 25 and 587) now reports Telnet connections and connections that look like port scans (connections where no data is sent and it doesn't time out).
