I had this happen when I was porting qmail to qnx.. it had to do with not
being able to lookup the host name. I'm not sure if there are other hard
errors though.
During the qmail build it produces a binary called 'hostname' run it and
it should return your full hostname. If not then maybe something more
serious is wrong with your system?

Well, there are only about 5 that qmail-config installs, I don't have them
here but they are simple single line things. I suggest you do man
qmail-control and go through the list of config files and add any you
think you might need. They are all simple things, much like the 'me' file
is.
BTW, anyone know when qmail will become part of the dist? I notice on
qmail.org that it is now free..
