Hi all, I'm working on a virtual server under OpenVZ and installing the packages described in Step 12, and aptitude is telling me that two packages are broken: rmail sendmail It offers a couple of alternatives, if I choose not to accept its solution, but they all leave postfix uninstalled.

Yes, I did update sources.list and my installation. I've accepted the solution and completed the installation. I'll report back, once I've verified mail, etc. Thanks for the assist, Kwick.
