This probably isn't a bug, and here's why; It turns out that Postfix was in fact working and the emails were being sent. The issue was they were being marked as spam, and on top of that, the Gmail app for Android has been having sync issues. Every time I would check the spam box from the app, there would be nothing there, because it never synced. Now that I am aware of this, I think the conflict was that Postfix and Qmail were installed at the same time, which caused the error.

Just got the same error message while installing qmail on Trusty.

It turns out that the domain name for my host was not yet defined, and hence the qmail installer aborted.
I could resume the install after defining a domain name (I edited /etc/hosts).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Plusieurs signalement de " qmail non configuré "
Le démarrage de Ubuntu s'étale deux listes de 120 secondes .
On accède à ces listes en appuyant sur " Escape " et il semble que l'ordi lance un scan vers des ip localess ; à priori en boutant avec la version linux 2.26.2
Ce problème est apparu après mettre servi de Synaptic....
