May be a problem with ncurses' choice of highlight color and your terminal colors. Try different terminal colors.

Hi jebblue

I tried as you suggested to no avail. I tried on two computers and still the same. I have installed postfix on another Debian server without any issue and I built this linode exactly the same way. Please see the image below; nothing could be highlighted.

I scoured the Internet but couldn't get anywhere.

Thanks

Done it!

Pressed the 'Tab' key on the keyboard and managed to highlight OK on the pop-up. Got this idea from a website.

Thanks
