Ok. Guess the problem lies in the value of user-mail-address which is webmaster@animearchive.org. Now when I think about it, I realize I had this fixed until I upgraded to pgnus. using this: (defun neotron-change-address () (interactive) (let* ((head (message-fetch-field "From"))) (setq user-mail-address head) (let (email (message-user-mail-address)) (setq user-mail-address email)))) (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'neotron-change-address) That doesn't seem to work anymore. In any case the problem remains - when using posting styles Gnus doesn't supply the mail sending agent with a correct sender, which in this case would be setting user-mail-address to the correct value. > Second, while the value might be considered inappropriate, it is correct > (canonical).

Why would it be the correct sender? I am not sending it as webmaster@anime, so why on earth would that be the correct one? I don't understand what you're talking about, to be honest. It's the wrong address. -- [ Below is a random fortune, which is unrelated to the above message. ] Waste not fresh tears over old griefs. -- Euripides
