Adam, I strongly recommend you get a copy of "Learning Debian
GNU/Linux". You can get this at Dymocks or

You don't have your mail system configured correctly, this is performed
on installation. Run the below command:
dpkg-reconfigure exim
if that doesnt work, then run:
apt-get install exim
and repeat the first command.
Another thing you may note is that Debian does things securely and
properly. If a user wants to control dialing up, they need to be added to
the appropriate group. Same for playing audio, mounting drives and many
other functions. Have a look in /etc/group
