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? :-) OS: Debian 6 (squeeze) " s1:/tmp# aptitude install xmail Reading package lists...
