head: cannot open '/etc/mailname' for reading: No such file or directory

Do I have to do something?

According to Ubuntu document, /etc/mailname should contain the fqdn name.

Changed 

chomp($mydomain = `head -n 1 /etc/mailname`);

to:

$mydomain = "example.com";

in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-domain_id following a comment on this entry:

https://serverfault.com/questions/50442 … tus-header

Now the error message seems to be gone.

It's better to append this setting in /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user instead of modifying 05-domain_id.

Do I have to replace the 

chomp($mydomain = "ec.heinrichheinedo.de");

with

$mydomain = "example.com";

?
