I don't understand that last statement. I've just done a fresh install of
courier-imap-1.6.0, and both pop3d-ssl and imapd-ssl contain
COURIERTLS=${bindir}/couriertls
but neither sets 'bindir'. The assignment to bindir exists in all of
pop3d.rc, pop3d-ssl.rc, imapd.rc, imapd-ssl.rc:
bindir=${exec_prefix}/bin
This is fine except it breaks POP3 STLS / IMAP STARTTLS, because pop3d.rc /
imapd.rc clears the environment before starting the daemon, which in turn
looks for the COURIERTLS environment variable.
I only use the imap/sqwebmail parts of Courier, so I can't speak for
esmtpd-ssl.
Unless couriertls is considered a more "experimental" part of Courier than
the rest of it, I am not sure why the path to it is put a configuration
variable in the first place.
Why not just put
COURIERTLS=@bindir@/couriertls
at the top of the .rc scripts? Or you could even change
$SSLPORT $COURIERTLS -server -tcpd \
to
$SSLPORT @bindir@/couriertls -server -tcpd \
(but that would involve changing the pop3/imap daemons to have a hard-coded
path to couriertls instead of picking it up from the environment)

Brian.
