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 pro-

       and need to know the name of the system.

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