The /etc/init.d/courier script lacks a part meant to star esmtpd-ssl if
properly 
configured. 
In particular I suggest ti add: 
        # start esmtpd-ssl if so written 
        [ -f ${sysconfdir}/esmtpd-ssl ] && source ${sysconfdir}/esmtpd-ssl 
        case x$ESMTPDSSLSTART in 
        x[yY]*) 
                ebegin " Starting esmtpd-ssl" 
                ${sbindir}/esmtpd-ssl start 
                ;; 
        esac 

in the start() function and 
        ebegin " Stopping courier-esmtpd-ssl" 
        ${sbindir}/esmtpd-ssl stop 
in the stop() function 

There is another error in this script, it lacks the generation of 
esmtpacceptmailfor.dat, so it would be useful having this line: 
[ -f ${sysconfdir}/esmtpacceptmailfor.dat ] || ${sbindir}/makeacceptmailfor 

I think that this script could be improved such as the ebuild of courier, so i
would like 
to talk with courier ebuild mantainer 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable esmtpd-ssl (ESMTPDSSLSTART="YES") 
2. Try to restart (or start) courier service 
3. As you see ssmtp has not been started!

Oddly enough the courier sysV init script doesn't start esmtpd-ssl (which
is what I based the Gentoo startup script on). I'm looking into why it doesn't
start it (to make sure it's not borken or something).

Okay, so the initscript in the install docs still is missing a part about
esmtpd-ssl, but the one that is distributed in the most recent tarball correctly
has a part about it. I've fixed this in cvs, and I'll bump the ebuild after
I do some more init script cleaning and testing that's been on my todo list
for awhile.

There is still a small problem:

You added
"case x$ESMTPDSTART in" (missing 'SSL')
instead of
"case x$ESMTPDSSLSTART in"
to /etc/init.d/courier.

So esmtpd-ssl doesn't start, even if it is configured in
/etc/courier/esmtpd-ssl (ESMTPDSSLSTART=YES).
