Hello,
I'm really hopping to switch over to Qmail with
SMTP Authentication from Sendmail but am having
trouble getting basic Qmail to work. I've just
spent the last 5 hours trying to get Qmail to
work on my FreeBSD 4.4 server. I killed Sendmail
and did a "rm /usr/sbin/sendmail" to remove the
symbolic link to mailwrapper. Then I did a "make"
then "make install" from within
/usr/ports/mail/qmail/ . And even copied my
/etc/mail/local-host-names to
/var/qmail/control/locals  and
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts

Though I could get the process running with
csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc start &'  instead of
csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' as indicated by all
documents I couldn't not get qmail to test
successfully. Even after I had modified
/etc/inetd.conf and rc.conf and rebooted the
server.

There is also an issue with INSTALL docs indicate
that mail using the "vsm" service would be placed
in /var/spool/mail/user but in fact all mail on my
default FreeBSD install is in /var/mail/user . Am
I completely misunderstanding all this or is this
a change since the port was last updated?

Also the port installed a user "qnofiles" though
all the docs I've read keep referencing "nofiles".
Is this a typo or am I once again just missing
something?

Any help you can provide would be greatly
appreciated...
