I want to install and run qmail on my machine. So, I cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail. make make install. Read the docs for setting things up. Do the changes that the qmail docs want. When I restart the computer, I get: qmail: Alert: Cannot Start: unable to read controls. looked in the /var/qmail/control directory and its empty. Searched google and found a reference that if you don't have DNS, you need to manually build control/me yourself. Any ideas or pointers? This is for an internal mail server, and our LAN does not use internal DNS. thanks, Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
