Question

Hi,
When I am setting up postfix, I have typed in to putty:
sudo apt-get install postfix
then it comes up with a screen saying:
âââââââââââââââââââââââââ⤠Postfix Configuration ââââââââââââââââââââââââââ

and nothing else, when I whatch tutorials, there is an extra bit below that says:
General type of mail configuration:
No configuration
