Problem with sending usenet items with emacs gnus
I purchased a Debian Woody (Unofficial) distro from Edmunds Enterprises
and installed it. It seems OK except I'm having a lot of trouble with
default configurations for communicating with the outside world. I've
already posted some questions (can't telnet in, the Mail transfer agent
which I think is sendmail, at least sendmail is running, doesn't seem
to want to play nice with fetchmail, and now this. I'm afraid I
don't know much about these kinds of configuration issues. I still
have the telnet and mail problems and will have to drop debian if I
can't resolve them. I've been using linux since 1994, mostly using
slackware and somehow managed to get along knowing these configuration
items until now.
Anyway, here's my latest-
When I try to post a message using emacs gnus, it produces a 'From'
line that gnus doesn't like. Does anyone know how I can change that?
The exact complaint, in the little bar at the bottom of gnus is:
Denied posting -- the From looks strange: "Debian User <cpw@ragwind>".
Here is an exact example of a message I tried to post:
Sender: cpw@ragwind.localdomain.net
Newsgroups: alt.test.test
Subject: ignore this test using debian
From: Debian User <cpw@ragwind>
X-Newsreader: Gnus v5.7/Emacs 20.7
Date: 21 May 2002 08:06:27 -0700
Message-ID: <lzu1p15ymk.fsf@ragwind.localdomain.net>
Lines: 5
--text follows this line--
THis is a test of how gnus works with debian
that is all.

Replace ragwind.loc or bluemouth.loc with rahul for my real email address
