I just installed qmail on my FreeBSD box out of /usr/ports/mail/qmail,
and noticed this:

# ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail.sh
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  13 May 15 18:43 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail.sh@ -> /va\
r/qmail/rc

# ls -l /var/mail/rc
ls: /var/mail/rc: No such file or directory

I read somewhere that this is actually *supposed* to happen + that I
should copy something in /var/qmail/boot to /var/qmail/rc

My question is: what? There are lots of files in there:

# ls -l /var/qmail/boot/
total 24
