Why? Damfino. As I recall, (I built my setup while studying the GNUS documentation) gnus-use-generic-from is t or nil. (Or, maybe it does try to use it if it is neither.) Anyway, try setting gnus-use-generic-from to t, gnus-use-generic-path to "bu-pub" (bu-cs will prepend the "bu-cs!", assuming that's your NNTP server) and set gnus-your-domain to "bu-pub.bu.edu", which it will use to construct your From: line. [I believe that's how gnus-use-generic-from works -- by suppressing the hostname and only using the domain, unless you give a string or nil.] You might want to also set gnus-user-login-name, gnus-user-full-name and gnus-your-organization. This is the setup I'm using, and it works flawlessly for me. [check the headers on this messge] Deven -- Deven T.
