mailutils默认安装postfix,如果已经安装其它MTA就使用已经安装的.

$ sudo apt-get install mailutils

非交互安装mailutils:

# 这里不用配置任何参数.
$ sudo debconf-set-selections <<< "postfix postfix/mailname string "
$ sudo debconf-set-selections <<< "postfix postfix/main_mailer_type string 'Internet Site'"
$ sudo apt-get install -y mailutils

  127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain    localhost    hostname

  DAEMON_OPTIONS('..., Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1')dnl
# mv sendmail.cf sendmail.cf.old
