I did a "grep 5400 $(find)" from the etc directory. Only the /etc/postfix/main.cf file was wrong (but postfix is no longer installed), I changed it. Its asinine to require postfix for a printer, makes no sense. -- postfix doesn't install when hostname contains only digits https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to postfix in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
