Hello,
I wanted install xmail from the Debian repository (pkgname xmail)
and the installer brings the following popup:
"
Xmail server has a sendmail replacement that is mostly used
by system programs and daemons to send mail containing their
output or results. Historically, those programs use a user name
(usually root) that is not followed by a domain.
Xmail server is a 100% RFC compliant server that does not allow
"default" domains.
Its users are completely virtual and separated from the system users.
You must have at least one valid domain and one valid user created
to receive mail from those programs.
Default Local Domain Name:
/etc/mailname
<Ok>
"
What should I enter there?
Ok, I did some research and kept the suggested /etc/mailname
after putting my domain name in this file.
After the installation xmail gets started
but the installer doesn't end, instead it says
"Starting XMail server: " and nothing else happens...
As said, xmail is started, but the installer doesn't end...
Is this a bug or a feature? :-)
From a 2nd terminal I tried to gracefully shutdown xmail
by entering "/etc/init.d/xmail stop" but it doesn't stop... :-(
Can I safely CTRL-C the installer, or should I wait, or what else should I do?
:-)
