Hi.

It seems to me that neither user-mail-address nor mail-host-address is
set. The former defaults to "user@mail-host-address" and the latter
defaults to your hostname which might explain your problem. Thus, try
setting user-mail-address, either using customize-variable or

(setq user-mail-address "psadhukhan@hss.hns.com")

HTH, norbert.
