Any interest in either of these patches?

http://phantom.dragonsdawn.net/~gordon/courier-patches/cdfilters-EAGAIN.patch http://phantom.dragonsdawn.net/~gordon/courier-patches/courier-spec-options-0.43.0.patch

The former will cause courier to retry connecting to the courierfilter's socket if the queue limit is full. This happens occasionally when a storm of processes attempt connection before the daemon has a chance to run and accept the connections.

The latter patch changes the spec file a bit, so that all of the requirements to build a complete courier package are listed as buildpreq's. Users that want to leave out a component can do so by building like: rpmbuild -bb --without mysql courier.spec

The courier package will be built without including that component, and no binary package for that optional component will be produced. This has the benefit of helping users who want a full suite make sure that their build environment has all of the required parts, while allowing users who don't want some optional components to build the package without concern for those dependencies.
