Are there existing rpms for courier mta?
Not by any reputable repo, no. Use dovecot which is supplied by CentOS.

People _really_ must stop following garbage like howtoforge. This site inevitably advises to disable selinux and more often than not to do the same with your firewall. Both actions are foolhardy, at best, and downright reckless otherwise.
<snip> Disabling selinux, or at least setting it to permissive, I agree with. Turning down your firewall?! Anyone suggesting that is, IMO, either a) clueless, or b) a malware user/vendor trying to make life easier. Can anyone think of any other possibilities?
I always have ignored turning off the firewall; it is not hard in Gnome to alter basic firewall behaviour and allow for ports like 576 (or whatever that SMTP port is; not looking it up right now).
In the past, turning selinux to permissive was my first step in setup, followed by moving SSH's port. Now I leave it as is and learn how to use semanage.
