Hello,
I tried to install xmail (on some virtual machine with very little
infrastructure), and it bombed on me:

Second try: I added some line of the sort
NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN name.full.domain name
to /etc/hosts
and, for good luck, also the same FQDN to /etc/mailname. Now,
aptitude purge xmail && aptitude install xmail
did not get me going yet. I added a "-f" to the "ln" command that kept failing
on me (same as seen above), and also added a "set -x", both to
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xmail.postinst .
This failed, this time while trying to fire CtrlClnt against a system where
xmail isn't running:
=====
...
+ read -r _db_internal_line
+ RET=
+ case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in
+ return 0
+ redirect=
+ '[' /etc/mailname = /etc/mailname ']'
+ '[' -f /etc/mailname ']'
++ cat /etc/mailname
+ domainname=approx.famsik.de
+ cat
+ '[' -f /etc/xmail/default_domain ']'
+ old_domain=xmailserver.test
+ echo 'I: Adding new domain.'
I: Adding new domain.
++ CtrlClnt -s localhost -u debian -p debian domainlist approx.famsik.de
ErrCode = -152
ErrString = End of socket stream data
+ EXISTS_D=
=====
I had another look at the script. Whether xmail runs or doesn't seems to be
judged by the existence of some subdirectory of /var/lib/xmail/spool.
(Hm. If the first attempt only got so far and collapsed, e.g., through a server
crash at just the "right" moment?)
I tried deleted /var/lib/xmail/spool. Sure enough, this ran into an endless loop
waiting for xmail to start running:
=====
+ ln -sf /etc/xmail/dnsroots /var/lib/xmail
+ chmod 711 /var/lib/xmail
+ chmod 711 /var/spool/xmail
+ chmod 711 /var/spool/xmail/spool
+ chmod 770 /var/spool/xmail/spool/local
+ chown root:mail /var/spool/xmail/spool/local
+ chmod 770 /var/spool/xmail/spool/temp
+ chown root:mail /var/spool/xmail/spool/temp
+ chmod 700 /var/cache/xmail
+ SSL_CERT=/var/lib/xmail/server.cert
+ SSL_KEY=/var/lib/xmail/server.key
+ '[' '!' -f /var/lib/xmail/server.cert ']'
+ chmod +t /var/spool/xmail/spool/temp
+ chmod +t /var/spool/xmail/spool/local
+ dpkg-statoverride --force --update --add root mail 2555
/var/lib/xmail/sendmail/xsendmail
An override for "/var/lib/xmail/sendmail/xsendmail" already exists, but --force
specified so will be ignored.
+ '[' -x /etc/init.d/xmail ']'
+ update-rc.d xmail defaults
++ which invoke-rc.d
+ '[' -x /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d ']'
+ invoke-rc.d xmail start
Starting XMail server: XMail.
+ '[' configure = configure ']'
+ '[' '!' -f /var/run/XMail.pid ']'
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ '[' '!' -d /var/lib/xmail/spool/22/22/ ']'
+ sleep 1
+ '[' '!' -d /var/lib/xmail/spool/22/22/ ']'
+ sleep 1
+ '[' '!' -d /var/lib/xmail/spool/22/22/ ']'
+ sleep 1
+ '[' '!' -d /var/lib/xmail/spool/22/22/ ']'
and many more of these.
=====
At this point, I forced xmail to be started via /etc/init.d. This got me out of
the endless loop, but now
====
...
+ printf '%s\n' 'GET xmail/redirect'
+ IFS='

+ read -r _db_internal_line
+ RET=
+ case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in

+ domainname=approx.famsik.de
+ cat
+ '[' -f /etc/xmail/default_domain ']'
