But a shell must run at some point to set the QMAILMFTFILE variable.
If you open an XTerm and run printenv, is it set?
Next, how do you start X? Do you type "startx" at a command prompt? Or
do you use XDM and log in through a graphical window? In the second
case, do you have a .xsession file in your home directory? If so, does
it set the QMAILMFTFILE variable?
Also, do you know how XFMail sends mail? If it runs the sendmail
program, make sure that sendmail (/usr/sbin/sendmail) is a symbolic link
to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. On the other hand, if it talks directly to
an SMTP server, the QMAILMFTFILE variable won't work at all.
