Greetings,
Am running 4.3-release.

I want to install and run qmail on my machine.  So,
I cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail.  make make install.  
Read the docs for setting things up.  Do the changes
that the qmail docs want.  When I restart the computer,
I get:
qmail: Alert: Cannot Start: unable to read controls.

looked in the /var/qmail/control directory and its empty.

Searched google and found a reference that if you don't have
DNS, you need to manually build control/me yourself.

Any ideas or pointers?  This is for an internal mail server,
and our LAN does not use internal DNS.

thanks,
Darryl
