Given your Message-ID, it appears to be complaining because you have
set *your machine*'s hostname to "dwarf" rather than a fully-qualified
domain name.  What it should probably be doing instead is reverse-
resolving the IP address associated with the local side of the
connection between your machine and your news server.
