These are two symptoms of the same problem. /var/qmail/rc should be
run as part of *system* startup, not user login. Normal users don't
have execute permission for qmail-start, thus your first symptom. The
second is simply what bash does when it starts a job in the
background: it prints the job number and PID. You can suppress this
by starting the job from a subshell:
$ (foo&)
But in this case, the command shouldn't be in your .bashrc at all.
