Error from log:

Starting amavisd: head: impossibile aprire "/etc/mailname" per la lettura: File o directory non esistente
  The value of variable $myhostname is "andrea-MS-7100", but should have been
  a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such.
  You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname
  in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's
  network name!
(failed).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

It would appear that you do not have a full qualified domain name (FQDN) for the Ubuntu system that you are trying to install amavisd-new on.

Please follow the advice in the error message in #2 to resolve this issue.

If this fixes your problem please mark this bug as 'Invalid'

Thanks
