Postfix wasn't working right. So I uninstalled it using apt-get remove and apt-get remove --purge .. but whenever I'd reinstall it, it would never show the configuration screen. So I deleted the entire /etc/postfix folder. Sure enough, the next time I installed it, the config screen showed up. I went ahead and completed the configuration etc.

Problem is, I expected the /etc/postfix directory to be restored, but it's not there.

Now what?

The folder /etc/postfix is part of the package postfix

sudo apt-get install --reinstall postfix

To reconfigure postfix

sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix

$ apt-file search --regex "^/etc/postfix/"
postfix: /etc/postfix/post-install
postfix: /etc/postfix/postfix-files
postfix: /etc/postfix/postfix-script
