I use a MacBook and use CarbonEmacsPackage. It works well almost all
the time, but when I tried to use gnus to send messages, it does
work. The version come with Mac OS X---the terminal version---works
well.
What's wrong with CarbonEmacs?

a misconfigured system. Really post? (y or n)"

It works fine for me, and probably many other people. You'll have to
provide much more detail than "does [not] work". For example, what
exactly do you mean by "send messages"? How do you know it fails?
Please read
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
on how to formulate your question so that it has a better chance of
being answered helpfully.

I dont think there is anything wrong with CarbonEmacs.
I guess your problem is with PATH. Carbon Emacs (when running by mouse
clicking App icon) can not get PATH from environment.
You can create dir ~/.MacOSX, then create file environement.plist, and
put something like
,----
| <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
| <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
| <plist version="1.0">
| <dict>
| <key>PATH</key>
| <string>/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin</string>
| </dict>
| </plist>
`----
or explicitly set sendmail-program in your .emacs or .gnus (to
/usr/sbin/sendmail I suppose).
HTH,

Sorry... I am `too' new to newgroup, a little excited...and showed
quite silly...
I set my ~/.gnus with
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.giganews.com"))
Nothing else. I think missed some configuration.
When I press, C-c C-c, Carbon Emacs says
"You appear to have a misconfigured system. Really send? Answer (y/n)"
Actually, the news can be send successful, but I am quite confused
with that warning message.

Sorry I may misunderstand you. I thought you mean sending email.
Since you can post messages here, it should be ok. The error may lie in
somewhere else. The best you post your conf file.

This question appears when when your host address is unknown to emacs
and the Message-ID cannot be generated including your correct domain.
If you look at the Message-ID of your articles, you see something like
this:
Message-ID: <m2649ez6iz.fsf@iMac.local.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me>
A guess would be that setting mail-host-address could help.
Best regards,

Check your Message id --
<m2649ez6iz.fsf@iMac.local.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me>.
grep told me error message
,----
| You appear to have a misconfigured system
`----
is from message.el in the situation that no fqdn is set. You can solve
this by setting user-mail-address to your email address.

I wonder how to set this variable? Which value should I set? in the
~/.gnus file or ~./emacs file?
Could you please give a example?
I search the file message.el, And got the following:
;; Check "Shoot me".
(message-check 'shoot
(if (re-search-forward
"Message-ID.*.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me" nil t)
(y-or-n-p "You appear to have a misconfigured system. Really post? ")
t))
I think this is the problem, just as you said.

Like you set any other variable in your emacs.
> Which value should I set?
The documentation says:
,----[ C-h v mail-host-address RET ]
| `mail-host-address' is a variable declared in Lisp.
| -- loaded from "/build/buildd/xemacs21-21.4.19/lisp/startup.elc"

| Value: "koldfront.dk"

| Documentation:

`----
> in the ~/.gnus file or ~./emacs file?
Whichever you want, I guess.
> Could you please give a example?
(setq mail-host-address "example.com") ;;; where you change
;;; example.com to your domain
> I search the file message.el, And got the following:

Guess how I found out.
