Ubuntu - sendmail problem

[Rick Bragg]

Thanks Julian I will do that,

The only problem I am having now is un-installing mailscanner
(4.58.9-2ubuntu1)

I want to un-install it, but when I try I get this error:


:~$ sudo apt-get remove mailscanner

I found that this is a bug, but I don't know how to solve it.

Anybody?

Thanks!
