-installing on FreeBSD 4.1 RELEASE 
-installing qmail 1.03 from FreeBSD Ports collection
-installed to /usr/local/qmail rather than to /var/qmail
-copied /usr/local/qmail/boot/home to /usr/local/qmail/rc
-in step 9 of PORT_NOTES (aka step 9 of INSTALL) it says to run 
  # csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
 so instead I run 
  # csh -cf '/usr/local/qmail/rc &'
 looking at TEST.deliver I stop at step one...

from /var/log/messages:
Sep  8 11:47:49 mybox qmail: 968438869.011886 alert: cannot start: unable
to read controls

Searched the list archives, the FAQ and other docs and didn't find a good
explanation of what it is looking for and not finding.

FWIW hostname+domain for this machine does not resolve by DNS at this time
because I am building the machine on my home LAN (behind NAT and a
firewall) to secure it and test it before we put it out for the world to
see.  I don't know if that will cause a problem or not.

This isn't alot of informaiton to go on, but I don't know what else to
offer at this point.  Can someone point me in the right direction here?

please reply directly to my address, as I am not subscribed to the list
anymore.
