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 con‐
       tains 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 pro‐
       gram wishing to get the mail name should use (that is, everything after the @).
