I seem to have screwed up my mail transfer abilities. I had sendmail installed, also ssh and whatever kde2 program that was similar. I installed the xterm package from 'woody' and noticed that sendmail was being replaced. When I try to send a mail in mutt, I can't, get 'operating system error' message. So I apt-get install smail and it says it can't find the package but I can use ssmtp instead. When I try to send a mail with it I get 'error unable to open port smtp port 25' message. I tried removing ssh but that didn't make any difference, also installing exim, but that didn't work either. Any suggestions?
Debian 2.2 system with potato and woody packages. thanks
