          1. Correct mydomain in /etc/postfix/main.cf.



            04 is not a valid domain name - a valid value is an entry of the tour domain.tld.




          2. Change the value for valid_hostname as well.



            This is only a warning but hostnames are not numeric - use the output of



            hostname --fqdn



          After that execute:



          sudo newaliases
          sudo apt-get install -f




          mydomain

          The internet domain name of this mail system. The default is to use
          $myhostname minus the first component, or "localdomain" (Postfix 2.3
          and later). $mydomain is used as a default value for many other
          configuration parameters.

          myhostname

          The internet hostname of this mail system. The default is to use the
          fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) from gethostname(), or to use the
          non-FQDN result from gethostname() and append ".$mydomain".$myhostname
          is used as a default value for many other configuration parameters.

          • Thanks for the answer. For some reason sudo apt-get install -f keeps changing the configuration in /etc/postfix/main.cf to some invalid crap myserver.168.1.25 so install fails all time miserably. Any ideas?

          first know your hostname using command : hostname



          just edit /etc/postfix/main.cf



          use:
          sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf



          change: myhostname =



          to



          myhostname = your_hostname (name of your hostname)



          now logout the system and re-login



          now run :



          sudo apt install -f

            1. Correct mydomain in /etc/postfix/main.cf.



              04 is not a valid domain name - a valid value is an entry of the tour domain.tld.




            2. Change the value for valid_hostname as well.



              This is only a warning but hostnames are not numeric - use the output of



              hostname --fqdn



            After that execute:



            sudo newaliases
            sudo apt-get install -f




            mydomain

            The internet domain name of this mail system. The default is to use
            $myhostname minus the first component, or "localdomain" (Postfix 2.3
            and later). $mydomain is used as a default value for many other
            configuration parameters.

            myhostname

            The internet hostname of this mail system. The default is to use the
            fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) from gethostname(), or to use the
