There are two slightly separate problems here: 1) sendmail is split over several packages, and the dependencies are a mess. So: # apt-get install sendmail # apt-get remove sendmail will leave you with sendmail-base and sendmail-bin still installed. This accounts for some of the files Matthew found in /etc
2) some files get put into /etc/, and aren't removed even after removing all of the sendmail packages I'm not sure which problems are caused by which of these two; the first is perhaps easier to fix? -- sendmail spews out error messages at boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/43752 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
