Why did gnus start asking this question

[reader]

I'm not sure what I did to provoke this but suddenly I'm being asked
this question:

  Add address "root@comcast.net" to "root@newsguy.com"? (y or n) 
  Please answer y or n. 

When I open messages from cron run by root.

I've made no changes in sendmail config, and don't really remember
making any to gnus.... I have updated from CVS not too long ago but
not sure this started then.

This message seems to be issued by BBDB.  So, to disable BBDB
when the `noninteractive' variable is non-nil might help.

(I don't use BBDB, though.)

Thanks for your replay..
Ahh yes and I did update BBDB to a higher version but forgot I had
done so.

Maybe a bbdb user will take pity on me and explain how to silence that
message.

How about perusing the fine manual?

The info-node (bbdb)Customization Parameters contains:

 `bbdb-always-add-addresses'
      If this is `t', then whenever the Insidious Big Brother Database
      notices a new email address corresponding to a person who is in the
      database, it will add it to the database.  If this is `nil' (the
      default), then whenever a new network address is noticed for a
      person in the database, you will be asked whether to add the
      address.  If this is the symbol `never' (really if it is not `t'
      and not `nil') then new network addresses will never be
      automatically added.

BBDB seems quite well-documented?


  Best regards,

Thanks for the fix, in answer to your above query... sloth  is the
only excuse... sorry.
