NAME
       mailname - the visible mail name of the system


DESCRIPTION
       The file /etc/mailname is a plain ASCII configuration file, which on a Debian system contains the visible
       mail  name  of  the system.  It is used by many different programs, usually programs that wish to send or
       relay mail, and need to know the name of the system.

       The file contains only one line describing the fully qualified domain name that the  program  wishing  to
       get the mail name should use (that is, everything after the @).
