I end up thoroughly confused. Its my understanding that the part of the message ID after the ampersand is supposed to be a real pingable address. In my case it is being generated as the name of my home lan, chub.local.net or one of the other .local.net. Thats how I set up the network. These are not pingable outside my local net since I'm a dialup customer to a "real" ISP. I have set sendmail to masquerade my POP and SMTP providers domain "newsguy.com" and to masquerade the "envelope" . Still this private local domain is escaping onto the internet in my message-ID. I imagine Gnus can be made to generate message-IDs that say: xxxxxx-fsf@newsguy.com or something similar, but not sure if that is desireable either. Or is it misconfiguration on the machine? If so what needs to be changed? -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com Running Redhat Linux-5.2 See http://www.jtan.com/~reader for a brief pictorial saga of construction work in the trade of "Boilermaker"
