	I installed the courier mail server using portupgrade in this freebsd 5.1 
box.  pkg_info reports it as

courier-ldap-mysql-pgsql-0.44.0 Courier SMTP IMAP POP3 HTTP mail server 
suite
For starters, I would suggest upgrading the port to 44.2 which is the 
latest.
so, I then decided to confiigure it so I can actually use it.  From the 
documentation, most of the files I need to access are in /usr/lib/courier.  
But, when I look for the "courier" directory, I find it in many places but 
the one that is mentioned above:
Courier is designed so you can install it basically anywhere and what you 
have found are the FreeBSD default location.

daffy# find / -name courier -print
/usr/local/etc/courier
This is where you  will configure courier.  I suggest you read
/usr/local/libexec/courier
and /usr/local/libexec/authlib is also courier :)

/usr/local/sbin/courier
See Install - post installation checks.

/usr/local/share/doc/courier
This are the docs for courier.  You certainly want to read INSTALL and FAQ 
at a minimum and that should answer most of your questions.  They exist in 
both this and the html directory.
/usr/local/share/courier
Mostly configuration executibles for configuring Courier.
/usr/ports/mail/courier
/var/mail/courier
/var/spool/courier
daffy#
Now, that makes me feel a bit concerned.  I have no problem with it sitting 
on /usr/local, but since the docs mention a lot the lib directory, and I 
cannot find it, I get concerned.  Further down in the documentation, there 
is a mention of the file /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail.  Looking for 
sendmail, I found it everywhere but inside a courier directory:
See: /etc/mail/mailer.conf should give courier paths also you might want to 
do a
ls -l `which sendmail` should help understand.

daffy# find / -name sendmail -print
/usr/libexec/sendmail
/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
/usr/local/bin/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/share/sendmail
/usr/src/contrib/file/Magdir/sendmail
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/include/sendmail
/usr/src/etc/rc.d/sendmail
/usr/src/etc/sendmail
/usr/src/share/sendmail
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
/usr/ports/mail/sendmail
/usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
/usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/sendmail
/usr/obj/usr/src/etc/sendmail
/var/tmp/temproot/usr/libexec/sendmail
/var/tmp/temproot/usr/obj/usr/src/etc/sendmail
/var/tmp/temproot/usr/share/sendmail
/etc/rc.d/sendmail
/etc.old/rc.d/sendmail
daffy#
Am I missing something here?  Because, it does feel like courier's sendmail 
may have been installed wherever it felt doing so.  Or nowhere at all. =(
Courier's sendmail in in /usr/local/bin/sendmail.  I suggest you read the 
courier docs and you might want to do man mailer.conf

I'm running courier from the 44.2 port every since it was updated with no 
problems what so ever.

Good luck,
