While I like ports I highly recommend you reinstall qmail using the instructions contained in Life with qmail. http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ I also highly recommend Dave Sill's book as well. We have run qmail for over 5 years here on multiple servers and Dave's book still sits on my desk, it is invaluable. Follow his instructions, and any problems you are having will go away. qmail will be efficient, fast, stable, and secure. DAve -- Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos for other non-international holidays, but nothing for Veterans? Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
