I use postfix so YMMV. cp /etc/hostname /etc/mailname On my system it is the same as in hostname. On my system both are fully qualified domain names. Again, YMMV but I think that is all you need. Probably 'dpkg-reconfigure postfix' or exim or which mailer you are using should set up that file. If you find that emacs needs it but your mailer is not setting it up then probably a bug should be filed against the appropriate emacs project since it would be requiring something that would appear optional. I don't think emacs should be needing it but if it does then there should be a dependency such that all of the dependencies at installation time happen. IMNHO having an additional file to indicate hostname is not the best configuration. I would have it be $(hostname) but the additional file probably supports a specific configuration such as virual hosting or a hostname with a different domain or some such and so fine.
