Title: RE: Qmail installation

Ok I restarted the installation from scratch, script has created qmail users.
To remove exim I did "dpkg -r --force-all exim"

When the installation unpacks exim it complains

Do you want to install qmail_1.03-24_i386.deb now? [Yn] Y
dpkg: regarding qmail_1.03-24_i386.deb containing qmail:
 qmail conflicts with mail-transport-agent
  exim provides mail-transport-agent and is installed.
dpkg: error processing qmail_1.03-24_i386.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing qmail
Errors were encountered while processing:
 qmail_1.03-24_i386.deb

It seems the system thinks exim is still here and exim settings should still exists in some configuration files.
Does anyone know how to resolve that problem ?

Configfiles are stored in
/etc/qmail, which is linked to /var/qmail/control

starting and stopping is done with
/etc/init.d/qmail start
/etc/init.d/qmail stop
