Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

security vulnerability: yes → no

Hi zodacare, thanks for taking the time to file a bug report.

Starting amavisd: The value of variable $myhostname is "ubuntu", but should have been
  a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such.
  You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname
  in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's
  network name!
(failed).

This looks to be an error in your system configuration. Your server needs a FQDN to work properly with amavisd, and the error is intentional, so this is not a bug. If you have further information to indicate it might be, please feel free to open a new bug report or re-open this one by setting the status back to New.

Changed in amavisd-new (Ubuntu):
