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.

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.
