You should set it like #hostname your-fqdn
and then postfix works. It's probably a minor postfix glitch as it could
try hostname -f (or whatever is the C equivalent)
I had this problem too as I get my hostname with dhcp and it does set it
the way postfix does not like. I wrote a script that fixes it for me =)

It is probably correct, just incompatible with postfix.
