Hi,

You are using an invalid hostname. To look what makes a valid hostname, please see:

Relevant error:

Running newaliases

newaliases: warning: valid_hostname: numeric hostname: 04

newaliases: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter mydomain: bad parameter value: 04

dpkg: error processing postfix (--configure):

 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 75

Hi Chuck,

Thanks! I corrected my hostname in hosts, hostname and the postfix
main.cfand restarted postfix.

Working fine now.

Thanks for the help to a Ubuntu newbie!
