You need to check the /var/qmail/controls directory.  Check the
following things.

1) Permissions make sure that root can read it
2) make sure you have at least the following files in it:
   me
   defaultdomain
   plusdomain
   locals
   rcpthosts
If you don't know what should go into the files, take a look at the
qmail install directions at www.qmail.org

Subject: Qmail won't start..

When I boot I get this error:

<abbrev-day> < Date and Time> CDT <year>
<abbrev-month> <date> <time> mandark qmail: 999755952.6828189 alert:
cannot 
start: unable to read controls

then comes my login prompt..

I have no idea what i'm doing wrong here.  I thought i followed
PORT_NOTES to a 
tee but maybe not.  I did not add: csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' from step
#14 as I 
did not remove the symlink.  

I think I have the tcpserver running too.. this is exactly how my
mailserver.sh
reads in my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/:
#!/bin/sh

tcpserver -v -u 82 -g 81 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &


I obviously am doing something wrong.. Can anyone
help?
