Well you can use
(setq user-full-name "NOT BOB")
(setq user-mail-address "notbob@myplace.org")
BUT if you use posting styles you can do that and more and when you are
ready do it on a per-group basis. Here are a few (munged) blocks from my
posting-styles section. (See section 5.5 of the Gnus manual)
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'((".*" ; 1st block - defaults
(signature-file "~/.sigs/usual")
(From "Glyn Millington <glyn@urglewyrgle.org>")
(Reply-to "glyn@urglewyrgle.org")
(body "\n\nGlyn")
; ;;;;; ;; line above puts my name above sig.
(organization "Central Church, Torquay, U.K."))
;;; for usenet cover up a little - just a little.
(message-news-p ; ie if this is usenet
(From "Glyn Millington <urglewurgle@urglewurgle.org>")
(Reply-to "urglewurgle@urglewurgle.org")
(organization "Utterly lacking")
(body "\n\nGlyn"))
("FRIENDS"
("X-Discordian-Date" (shell-command-to-string "ddate")))
("^alt.os.linux.slackware"
("X-Discordian-Date" (shell-command-to-string "ddate"))
(signature-file "~/.sigs/slack")
("X-Now-Playing" (gm-now-playing)))
("SLACKLIST"
(signature-file "~/.sigs/slack"))
))
^^ notice those two beauties

section 7.2
personally I use good old fetchmail to download the mail and dump it in
/var/spool/mail/glyn
then gnus takes over, sorting the mail, dumping the dross :-)
for outbound mail I have postfix running and Gnus finds the sendmail
command and does the business without further instruction from me - but
section 7.2 tells about the other way...
Good luck
Glyn
