I had this happen when I was porting qmail to qnx.. it had to do with not being able to lookup the host name. I'm not sure if there are other hard errors though. During the qmail build it produces a binary called 'hostname' run it and it should return your full hostname.

I suggest you do man qmail-control and go through the list of config files and add any you think you might need. They are all simple things, much like the 'me' file is. BTW, anyone know when qmail will become part of the dist? I notice on qmail.org that it is now free..
