I installed qmail from the ports on an up-to-date 4.2-stable on
Friday, works fine. Didn't patch it, just made some adjustments
to the invocation to use daemontools etc.

That's not the precise error, is it? grepping the source I only see:

  unable to read controls (#4.3.0)

which is what qmail-smtpd says when it can't read /var/qmail/control/me.


It sounds to me like your qmail install is completely broken and you
should start over (rm -fr /var/qmail). Make sure you cvsup the latest
ports. If it goes wrong again, put the complete output of doing the
"make install", and `ls -l /var/qmail/control` on a website somewhere
so we can have a look.

Or just install it from djb's tarball.
