You certainly want to read INSTALL and FAQ at a minimum and that should answer most of your questions.

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.
