Are you sure it's courier? Take one of the destination addresses from
the mail in your spool. Do
    host -t mx domain
where "domain" is the part after @ in the e-mail address. then try
    telnet host 25
where "host" is the reply you got from the previous command. If you
get an answer, send a mail manually, like this:
    helo yourownhostname
    mail From: <youraddress>
    rcpt To: <destinationaddress>
    data

    blah
    .
    quit

Note the sole dot on a line before "quit".

Then repeat inbound:
    telnet localhost 25
    helo localhost
    mail From: <validuser@localhost>
    rcpt To: <validuser@localhost>
    data

    blah
    .
    quit

If this works, then you should probably go back to fighting with
the courier configuration. If the first test doesn't work, you have
a network (configuation) problem. If the second test ends with
"connection refused", you forgot to flip the last configuration
directive in esmtpd to YES.

Forgive me if I suuggest things that you already tried long ago,
but sometimes the simplest problems are the most difficult to see.
