Ubuntu - sendmail problem

[Julian Field]

Your best method for getting MailScanner working on Ubuntu is probably 
to use the Debian package, which should just drop in and run. Doing this 
will save you an awful lot of grief.

I'm new to Ubuntu as well, so I don't know how to install the Debian 
package, hopefully someone else here can enlighten both of us on this 
subject?

Someone?
