Package: postfix
Version: 2.7.1-1+squeeze1
Severity: normal
myhostname cannot be set to /etc/mailname, and with Debian's preference for
short names in /etc/hostname, Postfix doesn't default to using the correct
FQDN for my typical case. It would be preferable to have /etc/mailname be a
viable option for myhostname. Right now doing this results in this:
postfix: warning: valid_hostname: invalid character 47(decimal): /etc/mailname
Thanks!

/etc/mailname is the mail _domain_, for email addresses, like example.com.
It is not a hostname, like host.example.com. /etc/mailname is not suitable
for a hostname. And postfix correctly refuses to use it as such.
Closing this bug report finally.
Thanks,
