Hi Garga,

Make reinstall failed

install  -o root -g wheel -m 555
/usr/ports/mail/qmail/work/enable-qmail /var/qmail/scripts
touch: /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon: No such file or directory
Failed to create files :
  /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster
  /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
  /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/mail/qmail.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/mail/qmail.

.qmail-mailer-daemon was a link to .qmail-postmaster (something I
picked up from some qmail howto guide)

Moving these files to another directory, make reinstall ran fine.
Copying .qmail-postmaster to .qmail-mailer-daemon (i.e. making it a
regular file) worked too. After moving the original files back,
qmail's running fine again.

Dunno if this is intended behaviour.

Kind regards,

Spil.
