I found that the bboard address insertion worked OK until I turned off
all validation (we have odd-looking XNS addresses mixed in that just
can't be validated).  Then I just get the name of the bboard on the To:
line when posting.

Incidentally, to turn off all posting, I put the following into
$ANDREWDIR/etc/AndrewSetup:

    AMS_ValidateDestHosts:      No
    AMS_PasswdValidation:       0
    AMS_LocalDatabaseValidation:        0

Is there a better way?

By the way, is there any way to post a message on the bboard other than
clicking on the symbol of the folder, thereby bringing up the `What do
you want to do with `foo'' menu, and selecting `Post a message on it'? 
It would be nice to have a menu command for posting.
