Re: which package brings nroff?

FYI, qmail hasn't been maintained by its author since 1998.  There are
a bunch of heavily patched versions which work better or worse.  I use
it with a different set of patches and a the mailfront SMTP daemon
rather than the rather creaky one that comes with the qmail package.

I could not even run anything.  On the first local-delivery test, I get

Sep 19 08:37:00 freebsd kernel: pid 40818 (qmail-rspawn), jid 0, uid 1014: exited on signal 11
Sep 19 08:37:00 freebsd qmail[40816]: 1726745820.743691 alert: oh no! lost spawn connection! dying...
Sep 19 08:37:00 freebsd kernel: pid 40817 (qmail-lspawn), jid 0, uid 0: exitedon signal 11 (core dumped)

in /var/log/messages.  I've never seen this before (with qmail).  It
could be my fault, but I have the feeling that the evolution of the
system broke qmail.  I'm going to look for a minimally patched version.
Any recommendations?  Thank you!
