You can either - distribute example files for different MTAs in /usr/share/doc/tpc/examples and a README.Debian that gives hints how to use them - or use debconf to ask the user what he wants/uses and then configure that one. - or use things like /etc/postfix/main.cf -> postfix, /path/to/something/else -> another one For this package *I* would go with the first one. -- bye Joerg <maxx> Aqua mach mal man brain.... <Aquariophile> maxx: schon probiert das gibts ned
