no make file for sendmail

Hi,

I have OpenEMM running on a vserver (HostEurope) with Ubuntu, Plesk and qmail. The GUI works fine and I was able to explore the functionality of OpenEMM: great System, thanks for providing it!

Since I would like to step further and actually send emails with OpenEMM, I got to solve this issue with sendmail:
*most configuration files exist (like sendmail.mc)
*file mailertable does not exist
*make file does not exist
*"which sendmail" tells me "user/sbin/sendmail"
*"aptitude search sendmail" shows all sendmail packages without any marked as "i" (for installed)
*"aptitude install sendmail-cf" installs one file, but still no make file in /etc/mail
*simulating installation of sendmail (not -cf) showes, that plesk and qmail would rather be deinstalled due to dependencies that can not be met, so this is no option

Without the make file, I can not follow the instructions for the installation. Has anyone an idea what to do? I'd apprechiate any suggestion!

You have to disable qmail (which tries to emulate sendmail) and install the real sendmail.
