sudo apt-get install postfix

gives the following issue:

Setting up postfix (3.1.0-3ubuntu0.3) ...

Postfix configuration was not changed.  If you need to make changes, edit
/etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed.  To view Postfix configuration
values, see postconf(1).

After modifying main.cf, be sure to run '/etc/init.d/postfix reload'.

Running newaliases
newaliases: warning: valid_hostname: misplaced delimiter: timber..name
newaliases: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter myhostname: bad parameter value: timber..name
dpkg: error processing package postfix (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 75
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.23-0ubuntu9) ...

 postfix
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I looked up other similar posts like this and the error seems to be the '..'in the hostname but whenever I remove it and change the name to timber, reload it and then retry installing postfix, it reverts the name back to timber..name and I get the same error again.

Postfix is now set up with the changes above.  If you need to make changes, edit
/etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed.  To view Postfix configuration
values, see postconf(1).

After modifying main.cf, be sure to run '/etc/init.d/postfix reload'.

Running newaliases
newaliases: warning: valid_hostname: misplaced delimiter: timber..name
newaliases: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter myhostname: bad parameter value: timber..name

I'm not sure how to permanantly change the name or in any case to remove the error. Now, whenever I try to install any package I get errors because of postfix.
