Thanks for reporting this
Looking at the terminal log, seems that your problem is related with configuration. Your log is stating:

Starting amavisd: head: cannot open `/etc/mailname' for reading: No such file or directory
  The value of variable $myhostname is "bjc-sjm", but should have been
  a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such.
  You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname
  in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's 
  network name!

Please take a look at this thread:

In order to solve it. Thanks

Status in “amavisd-new” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I tried using aptitude after booting into the 'fix it' choice one gets
  when a problem is detected furing the previous session.

  this has something to do with intercommunication with one of several
  antivirus programs, and linux

  a certain library is marked as missing.... and when I use apt-get
  install, i am told no such program exists.

  I wish I had written the script's name down.... something like uavuj
  but I am not sure. I can always pull it up if you of you wants to
  communicate with me

  meanwhile, I am gonna try and reinstall my clamAVand see if that helps
