[Eug-lug] receiving email on Debian

[Allen Brown]

That is probably the problem.  I don't seem to be running
any of them.  I will install postfix and see if that fixes
the problem.

Is there any reason to be running sendmail *and* postfix on
the same system?  (One of the IT managed systems here are
set up that way.)

  Time flys like an arrow.  Fruit flys like a banana.
  Shoe flys don't bother me.
