Postfix /etc/mailname configured incorrectly

[Sean Bannister]

Haven't had a chance to verify this but there's a report at http://groups.drupal.org/node/35410#comment-105412

It appears that an old hostname has been left in /etc/mailname and it's causing the EC2 instance to try to send mail remotely. Amazon is picking this up as abuse and disabling mail sending on Mercury instances.

This is definitely a big deal. We are supposed to be fixing this as part of
our boot script. Must investigate and fix asap.
