[-- Attachment #1 --] I installed qmail, qmailadmin, vpopmail, sqwebmail, checkpassword, ezmlm, and ucspi from ports and all built fine. As directed in the qmail port, I created a /var/qmail/rc script from /var/qmail/boot ( I tried Maildir and home ). On starting the rc script, I get the following error: qmail: 1019975240.167611 alert: cannot start, unable to read controls I then was successfully able to start the qmaild and pop3d via 2 tcpserver commands as directed in /var/qmail/doc/FAQ, added a domain and pop3 user in qmailadmin, but was unable to authenticate in sqwebmail. Anyway, I'm struggling, and the http://lifewithqmail.org manual is written specifically for Redhat / Linux it seems. I would very much appreciate it if someone can point me to some DOCs on using the above ports in FreeBSD, or point out a rc script that works under FreeBSD, as well as what needs to be in /var/qmail/control to get rid of the current startup error. Thanks in advance, Michael Sharp [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2713.1100" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I installed qmail, qmailadmin, vpopmail, sqwebmail, checkpassword, ezmlm, and ucspi from ports and all built fine.
