Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

You need to configure your system with a fully qualified domain name -
the error message give some advice and you can find a bit more
information in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amavisd-new/+question/163475

As this is not really a bug marking as 'Invalid' - if you need more help
ask through the linked question.

Changed in amavisd-new (Ubuntu):
status: New → Invalid
