I'm having trouble with mail on my two boxes recently upgraded to 10.04.
I don't think I need a mail server, but the packages seem to have been installed on one machine - perhaps as a result of installing apticron. How can I uninstall the packages? Synaptic has a way to figure out the group of packages to install, but doesn't seem to have the reverse.
Does apticron (or any other package that sends mail) need a mail server, or can I just configure something to use my external SMTP server? I thought that's what I had before.
TIA.
Mike
