Getting help
============
You've installed an automated and customized qmail-run package. If
you're having trouble getting the qmail daemons to run, ask the
package's maintainer:
<URL:mailto:schmonz-pkgsrc-qmail@schmonz.com>
Many members of the qmail mailing list recommend following the
install instructions in Dave Sill's "Life with qmail" document:
<URL:http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html>
A "Life with qmail" installation is done by hand, so any qmail
package necessarily deviates from LWQ in at least this respect.
Therefore, if you need to ask for help on the qmail list, please
mention that you're using the qmail-run package from pkgsrc.
If you can first reproduce your problem on a manual LWQ-style
installation, your request for help is likely to be better received.
It is highly recommended that you read Charles Cazabon's "12 Steps
to qmail List Bliss" before posting to the list:

Deviations from LWQ
===================
LWQ suggests doing some things that the qmail-run package doesn't do:
* Copying a script from /var/qmail/boot to /var/qmail/rc.
* Configuring svscan(8) to run at boot.
* Creating and/or populating /service.
* Using supervise(8) and multilog(8).
* Using the qmailctl script to control qmail.
* Using the inst_check script to verify the installation.
* Storing tcp.smtp{,cdb} in /etc.
* Renaming the system sendmail(8) and marking it non-executable.
Instead, the qmail-run package:
* Provides NetBSD-style rc.d scripts, including one very similar to qmailctl.
* Sends log messages to syslog(3) by default.
* Stores tcp.smtp{,cdb} and tcp.pop3{,cdb} in ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}.
* Uses mailwrapper(8) and mailer.conf(5).
