Hi Klaus,
>From your log:
newaliases: warning: valid_hostname: misplaced delimiter: cc1a572af0dc..
That comes down to the initial install&configuration requiring a fully
qualified domain name.
And your systems seems to have an invalid one for that use case.
There are two paths out of this.
a) fix the hostname to be a correct fully qualified domain name. Then the
postinst config will use that and work.
b) when installing postfix you can select interactively to have it set up with
"no config" that allows to manually configure it the way you want it and will
not trigger the auto-config code that currently is breaking for you
Which way you choose depends on your preference and your control of the
environment.
Fqdn's are a defined standard, and if your name would be like one it should
work.
Never the less we try to catch and handle some common issues.
It might be worth for your to look at your hostname in general (report your
full name here please) and the code that the install runs you can find in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/postfix.postinst - check the function myfqdn for that.
If therein is an issue that could be improved to support your kind of hostname
better that might be worth a talk.
** Changed in: postfix (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
