| 1) Dial-up hosts using dynamic IP. In this situation, the user is often
| given a mailbox of user@isp.com. [snip]
There must be an A record (and FQDN) for the IP address. A properly
configured dialup server will provide the FQDN associated with the IP
address, and a properly configured dialup host will set its name to that
FQDN for the duration of its connection. Gnus generates Sender fields
using that FQDN (or it should). The MX record associated with the A record
will make it a deliverable mailbox.
Correct configuration elminates the perceived need to coerce Gnus into
doing things that are less than Kosher.
| 2) Hosts on an internal LAN (probably using RFC 1918 addresses) behind a
| firewall. [snip]
Internally those fields should be as canonical as possible. It is the
responsiblity of the mail gateway to properly masqerade header fields. A
mail gateway that fails to do this is not configured correctly. Gnus
should not be encouraged to work around such misbehaviour.
