| It may.  Or it may not, depending on what the admin wants.  Nothing is

Then foo.com's mail gateway should masqerade mail headers so that nobody
outside ever sees bar.foo.com.  If it does not, and there is no server that
accepts mail for bar.foo.com, then the whole site is configured badly.

If Gnus is generating headers automatically, then yes, that is what it
should use.  It is up to the site's mail gateway to masqerade what needs to
be masqeraded.

| Wrong.  You're trying to apply too much intelligence - the "address"

| apply to other forms of addresses.

Now you are deliberately being a pain in the ass.
