inn: 441 posting failed

["Gary Jones" <garyjones@linuxfreemail.com>]

I'm just setting up inn on my Deb box (from the inn_1.7.2-4.1.deb). 
It is overkill for what I want, but since it is fun to try these 
things...

Everything so far seems to be okay except when I try to post, at 
which point I get this error:

Apr  1 13:28:42 localhost innd: SERVER starting
Apr  1 13:29:53 localhost nnrpd[211]: localhost connect
Apr  1 13:30:06 localhost nnrpd[211]: localhost post failed Can't 
generate Message-ID, No such file or directory

(from the log). The odd thing is that when slrn asks me if I want to 
retry the posting and I say yes, I get this:

Apr  1 13:30:13 localhost nnrpd[211]: localhost post ok 
<9a73g5$6j$1@ash-ock>

Does anyone know where I might have gone wrong, please? FWIW slrn is 
configured to /not/ generate M-IDs, but since inn is perfectly 
capable of doing so I think that is not the problem.
