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
