Mahngiel Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 You can see if postfix is install by dpkg -l | grep 'postfix'. If there is no output then postfix is not installed. If there is, then you likely just need to reconfig postfix to generate the config file. sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowing Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 thanks for the reply Mahnqiel i ran a setup command for exim and it poped up. so apparently exim is installed but not setup i guess hmm wierd when i did that i got all this below Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*]. if i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix i get "postfix is broken or not fully installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
