/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: exim4-base is broken or not fully installed is there any way I can force dpkg to reconfigure all this stuff? Last edited by dansimon; at 06:12 PM.
Not sure if this will help much, but aptitude is smarter at resolving dependency issues than apt-get. Also, try: dkpg-reconfigure exim4 Also, try replacing exim4-light with heavy, or postfix (try aptitude install postfix. This will replace exim with postfix, and should resolve dependency issues for you automatically). If it works, just switch back by doing: aptitude install exim4 I always use aptitude when encountering problems like that. Posts: 1167 Joined: 2007-10-03 19:24 Location: Saint Petersburg, FL.

Edit: I've asked to a friend, he told me I can remove it without any fear.
For a few month I've been using webmail as my main e-mail server. For the last month I was looking for a way of redirecting my root e-mail, as well as my crontab outputs into an internal server, that is handled by Axigen. Unfortunately because Axigen uses its own dependencies and transport agents, I'm unable to use postfix, as it basically doesn't work alongside Axigen.
I have asked them for a solution on, but I have not received any response that might help to solve the problem. As you could read in the topic, I've managed to get command: $ echo test message mailx -r misiak -s test username@localhost to work, so I am now able to send myself emails from the console, but it's still not what I'm after. I'm hoping to get output like this one: bumba is not in the sudoers file.
This incident will be reported. Bumba@Klocex:$ to arrive to my internal Axigen e-mail account. I am using Debian 8.3 64bit with Kernel 4.4.0. All dependencies up to date.
