This was shown just how I did it... not necessarily the only or the right way.
But it works for me. And no file copying was necessary.

In my case there is

#
# 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

so I think you are just fine in this case.

OK, but you are stating you have some troubles whereas my clean install (to
recap: cd /usr/ports/mail/courier; make install clean) just works. So you
must have something incorrectly done, most probably not from clean port
install.

Any way, if I remember this correctly, there is sendit.sh file
in /usr/local/share/courier/sqwebmail directory, which actually does the
sending. You could modify it for test by adding line

id > /tmp/debug

before final exec, and you will see whether this command gets invoked and id
under which it is ran.
This last line, by the way, should read

exec /usr/local/bin/sendmail $DSN -f "$1"

If it reads

exec @mailer@ $DSN -f "$1"

you did not installed courier port correctly. This is what your error message
suggest.
