Hi Tomasz,

This is what I wanted to know, was if someone else had installed qmail 
form pkgsrc and if so, what did they have to do in the install? I was 
applying the info found in LWQ, but ran into problems, especially with the 
qmailctl file throwing unexpected end of file errors, as described in the 
original message.

Could it be that one simply make && makeinstall /usr/pkgsrc/mail/qmail, or 
does one also have to follow the LWQ instructions? This is not covered in 
the README.html or DESCR files.

I wasn't actually thinking about the pkgsrc packages being broken as much 
as I was about "driver error". I'm pretty new to NetBSD and am still 
stumbling around with regard to pkgsrc in a number of ways, including 
finding out who the maintainer of the various packages might be, as well 
as specific instructions for the configuration of the various packages. 
Quite comfortable with building from pristine sources though, which is how 
I got qmail to work.

Sorry you got upset at my question.
