This depends on something in the Postfix configuration making use of
said file, which is not true in general, though it may be true of default
configurations in some vendor Postfix packages.
I don't even have a "local-host-names" file on my systems. Presumably
this goes along with something like:
mydestination = /etc/local-host-names
and assumes that the latter contains a reasonably stable list of FQDNs
for the system in question that at least includes the preferred system
name which really should be stable on MTA for replies to saved mail to
be deliverable.
A better reference on this list is BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README. For
platform-specific advice on basic configuration (not advanced Postfix
topics) the discussion should probably be on the appropriate forum for
the platform in question.
