Then I noticed that I couldn't send any mail. I started the qmail start up script by hand and its cool now. Everything looks ok with it. What could be causing it to not start during bootup?? Thanks
I know the feeling, Gerard! :) What I noticed was if my internet
connection was not physically powered on, certain things would hang at
startup (such as dhclient, sendmail) and I would C-c to get past them.

What you may wish to do is move the qmail.sh (is that a link or an actual
text file, it isn't clear?) to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail.sh - make sure you
chmod it to 644 or executable...
That way, it will get sourced at startup, or you can just put a line at the
end of your /etc/rc.conf file such as this:
/bin/sh /path/to/your/qmail.sh
