To answer this request for more information, you can either reply to

You received this question notification because you are a direct
subscriber of the question.

The answer's in the error text :

Running newaliases
newaliases: warning: valid_hostname: invalid character 33(decimal): masood-ROCKS!>
newaliases: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter myhostname: bad parameter value: masood-ROCKS!>

You should remove the exclamation mark from your hostname. If you edit the file /etc/hostname and change your machines hostname to "masood-rocks", then at a terminal prompt type :

sudo hostname -F /etc/hostname

You'll need to logout and login again to see the change.

You'll then also need to edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and set the correct hostname there.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname for the rules on hostnames.
