Yes, it actually was configured, and Postfix works at the moment,

I was just wondering if I needed to manually create a main.cf template 
file (and possibly to modify some reconfiguration script) because of 
what I read here: https://wiki.kolab.org/Configuration_concept.
Basically, it seems that kolabconf is triggered on some situations 
(e.g.: modifications made via kolab-webadmin) and that template files 
are filled with actual values; but main.cf is not there as it should be...

By the way, I tried to modify the master.cf template and to run 
kolab-conf manually, but /etc/postfix/master.cf was not modified. Did I 
miss anything?

Thanks, I love Ubuntu on desktops, but for servers I usually stick with 
Debian, which also extended its support for the 6.x series for another 
couple of years (thus matching Ubuntu's 5-year support cycle).

I think it's the same, as aptitude should call apt-get.

Thanks,
