The cables connecting to dc0 and rl0 are both connected to the same
switch/hub, yes? Why?
I think you have a connection to the Internet also connected to the
switch, yes?

RTFM for qmail, I guess. I only know about Exim - http://www.exim.org ;)

Seriously though, if you look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh, you'll
probably see that you need to add the following to /etc/rc.conf:

svscan_enable="YES"

If you do that, you need to edit rc.local and remove that svscan entry.

It's my guess, sir.

They did not get attached, as is protocol on most lists. You need to
include them in-line in the message body.
