At the beginning of May, Colin Watson kindly gave me the following advice to solve a problem I then had. I changed my whole approach to an email setup and did not use his advice. Now, having again 'changed direction', I need to change 'postfix' for 'nullmailer'. ( I had installed nullmail after compiling from a tarball, was having problems, and discovered Adam McKenna had produced a .deb)

Can't seem to create a dummy nullmailer package - there doesn't seem to be a suitable example to put into ns-control. Then again, if I do get a dummy package what do I do with it (I presume (2) refers to the main .deb and not the dummy). I can create packages by following the docs, but not the right kind. Can anyone let me know what an acceptable ns-control file should look like? Grateful for any help, John.
