This is ALSO a cause.  The MYDOMAIN and GENERICFROM defines I mentioned,
will cure the problem if you use postnews, you should of course make 
similar changes to Pnews. 

Thank you for pointing this out.

(Pnews does sadly enough not have anything similar to GENERICFROM
(and GENERICPATH), which makes all articles from a bunch of machines at
one site look like they came from one machine only.  I had to
patch this in by hand)
