Since I am using smtpmail which gets that data from user-mail-address, 
it would be safe to assume that it would be the right thing for Gnus
to change the value of that variable, ne? 

As it turns out, it seems like Gnus already does to this. The variable
is however made buffer local to the message buffer, so it isn't used
when sending mails. 

I "fixed" my problem by setting the global version of that variable to 
neotron@nyarlathotep.hedbor.org.
