A courier package should be running sysconftool as part of installing a new  
or an updated package.

A manual installation process involves running "make install-configure",  
this is documented in INSTALL:

https://www.courier-mta.org/install.html#installconfigure

This runs the sysconftool script. If you're creating an installable package,  
instead of installing things manually, the installable package should do the  
same.

This option was removed from courier/module.esmtp/esmtpd.dist.in.git in the  
git repo, and you will find this option removed from  
courier/module.esmtp/esmtpd.dist.in

After installing an updated version, running sysconftool should update the  
installed configuration file and reset the relevant configuration setting to  
its default value (if it was modified with any custom options they'll have  
to be redone).
