It sounds like you stopped and started everything manually.

Do you have something like the following in /etc/mail/mailer.conf?

# cat /etc/mail/mailer.conf
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/mail/mailer.conf,v 1.3 2002/04/05 04:25:12 gshapiro Exp $
#
# Execute the Courier sendmail program, named /usr/local/bin/sendmail
#
sendmail        /usr/local/bin/sendmail
send-mail       /usr/local/bin/sendmail
mailq           /usr/local/bin/mailq
newaliases      /usr/local/sbin/makealiases

and in /etc/rc.conf
sendmail_enable="NONE"
courier_enable="YES"
courier_authdaemond_enable="YES"

and the startup scripts should be in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier and 
courier-authdaemond

You can also try stopping the sendmail process and starting courier 
preferably using the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/  startup scripts but you will 
have the same problem when you reboot unless you fix the above.

Hopefully, I haven't missed anything.  Actually, if you didn't build 
your courier from ports, as would seem, it would probably be 
recommendable because all of the details are taken care of very well.

Good luck,
