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 https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/266253-problems-finding-out-what-mail-server-im-using/#findComment-1364693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
