Just noticed that on freshmeat, courier-mta is classed as beta, is this an oversight in updating the project status or are we using pre-production grade software or is it a simple matter of an incomplete roadmap?

Courier-MTA is quite stable and reliable (I've been running it for 3 years now in production with no major issues other than the ones I caused myself). I think Sam, the primary developer, doesn't consider it 1.0 yet because he hasn't achieved everything in the TODO list from the tarball:

1. Destroy Exchange

Beyond that, it's good stable code. 0.xx versioning for OSS projects doesn't really mean that it's unstable or unreliable just that it's not feature complete in the developer's mind...
