It _could_ be...
Really though, you're trying to do way too much. amavis is (besides
completely unnecessary, imo) an unnecessary complication.

Well, that's not what you're asking for. When you told us you had a problem
with "root mail", I told you that was a matter of telling postfix what
domains were to be considered local. Now you're dealing with a completely
different problem of not being able to start amavis. Since it stopped
arguing about the FQDN, I'd guess you've got that fixed, and are onto yet
another problem.

Ubuntu specifically leaves them out because they don't believe you need
them. I happen to think they're probably right.
