Agree.  Have been using it here since 2003, along with qmail and several
different delivery agents (including my own).  Another 'pro' is that it
supports both pop3 and imap using the same configuration and code base.

The only 'con' I can think of is a fallout of a major 'pro' - and that
is that the author frequently makes substantial improvements in a very
short period of time.  This can occasionally be disruptive, so I tend to
stick with one version for a long time until some upgrade is really needed.
But then, that sort of deployment is reasonable anyway.
