Hi Seetharam, thanks for taking the time to file this bug and help us make Ubuntu better.
Your hostname is not valid as a mail host name, so postfix is refusing to start. This is commonly attributed to a poorly configured cable modem or router which hands out invalid hostnames with underscores in the names or numbers as the first characters.
You can verify this by looking at /etc/hostname and /etc/mailname, both files can be edited to be something more correct for postfix. Once it is appropriate, 'dpkg --configure -a' should finish configuring postfix.
This is not a bug in postfix though, so closing as Invalid.
