Topic: << ERROR >> Please configure a fully qualified domain name (FQDN)

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====

When attempting to run 

bash /root/iRedMail-1.7.0/iRedMail.sh

getting the following error:

<< ERROR >> Please configure a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in /etc/hosts before we go further.

Reviewed a number of prior questions on this error, but nonetheless have yet to figure out how to resolve

/etc/hostname

ComputerUser
mail.domain.com
mail

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ComputerUser
192.168.1.xxx mail.domain.com mail

Thanks ZhangHuangbin, I was following that page in fact, but unfortunately wasn't able to resolve with that alone.  Any other clues welcome!

UPDATE - PROBLEM SOLVED

Again thanks ZhangHuangbin, your link was indeed the correct answer.

The solution was to read a little more carefully heeding the line:

Warning: Please list the FQDN hostname as first item.
