I personally have never seen such a message.  You must have previously
installed or configured something that added that functionality.

It sounds to me that this was a local configuration that you had
created previously.  Whatever you did before you would need to do
again or debug.

By the way...  Sarge is now oldstable and the new stable is Etch.
Consider upgrading.  Eventually security upgrade support for Sarge
will be dropped.
