Nullmailer should have prompted for some smarthost parameters. Was this being run in some form of unattended installation, and if so then how ?

Hmm. I've just rewritten the template prompting in postinst for Debian version 1.11-1 so I hope this problem, whatever it was, might be fixed. Could you keep an eye on your next upgrade when Ubuntu gets 1.11, please, and see if it recurs or not ?
