Hello,

I'm trying to reproduce this here, but cannot until now. I tried to
create a symbolic link .qmail-mailer-daemon -> .qmail-postmaster,
and ran `make reinstall` but it installs perfectly.

What port does is a touch on each 3 files on /var/qmail/alias:

.qmail-mailer-daemon
.qmail-postmaster
.qmail-root

touch just create the file if it doesn't exist, and it works fine if
the file is a symlink.

Could you give more information about FreeBSD version, qmail port
version, arch?

Thanks
