By default exim and courier work on standard accounts in the passwd file.
courier authenticates against pam.
It also wants to see maildir mailboxes; so you'll want to set maildir_home
in exim configuration.
I believe newer courier can deliver to mbox but it's not efficient.
I actually transitioned from courier to dovecot recently as dovecot is much
more efficient handling large maildirs.
If you are going to use maildir ensure that you have your /home on a file
system that will handle plenty of inodes, symbolic links and lots of small
files.
Regards, Kerry.
