While I like ports I highly recommend you reinstall qmail using the 
instructions contained in Life with qmail.

http://www.lifewithqmail.org/

I also highly recommend Dave Sill's book as well. We have run qmail for 
over 5 years here on multiple servers and Dave's book still sits on my 
desk, it is invaluable.

Follow his instructions, and any problems you are having will go away. 
qmail will be efficient, fast, stable, and secure.

for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
