>Description:
Due to licensing issues qmail is normally installed into /var/qmail. It is however possible to install qmail someplace else by setting PREFIX on the command line. Since it is not reasonable to set prefix in /etc/make.conf I suggest a variable QMAIL_PREFIX which sets the prefix for the qmail port.
>How-To-Repeat:
      
>Fix:
Apply the following patch against the qmail port's Makefile:

+++ qmail/Makefile	Sun Jul  3 17:04:53 2005
