Yes, that would work. I hesitate to monkey with files in /etc/,
though.

I deja-google'd around a bit, found this thread:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&th=aae6fc4b76cbb2e0&rnum=1
and eventually ended up with this in my ~/.emacs.el file:
(require 'message)
(defun message-make-fqdn ()
"less.nonsensical.fully.qualified.domain.name")
Now I can post, but it still feels like a kluge. Note that I
don't use gnus for email, so I don't know how "universal" that
kluge is. OTOH, given that (a) I don't get a static IP address
from my ISP, and (b) my box is behind a router, a DSL modem, DHCP,
NAT, and PPPoE; what is my FQDN? This issue seems to be debated
endlessly on usenet (and elsewhere, too, I'm sure), or at least in
such a manner that I can't find the end.
Regards,
Dan
