Well,I followed the instructions on how to install Qmail from the Wiki page, or so I thought.
I have courtier-imap working, but when I start svscan, I get this in ps -A:
| Code: |
20183 pts/1 00:00:00 qmail-send <defunct>
|
And, when I look at the log files, I get a whole ton of:

I wasnt able to get the Portage version of qmail to work, but I did install it by hand using the Life With Qmail instructions...
Maybe the portage version is broken?

Portage version works great... I'm running it on 3 production mail servers without a problem. Unfortunately, I don't know how to solve the OP's problem.

I know it has been a while, but this is a bug in the qmail ebuild and I'm answering it so others can find the solution easily.
You need a file called "me" in the /var/qmail/control directory |
