Using Debian Lenny you have probably intalled exim4 as mail server, don't need to install postfix to do the same. Do "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" (previously install exim4-config if you don't have it installed) and choose the option of your mail server settings you prefer. Anyway, if you're not going to use it massively, I'd recomend you replacing exim4 by ssmtp (the simplest mail server around), as it's really easy to setup. http://wiki.debian.org/sSMTP To test if it's working, then install mail-utils, and use the command "mail" to send mails and check if they 're received. Then you are sure your server setup is working and you can think of configuring mail in web2py. Regards José L.
