Set the Emacs variables `user-full-name' and `user-mail-address'. They're used by other parts of Emacs aswell, so it's best to set them in ~/.emacs.el. -- Booting... /vmemacs.el -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Might be that. Or: your localhost is not configured right. Can you telnet yourself? Check the archives for localhost configuration.

If it's following Debian policy, it should be /etc/mailname. If not, 'grep -r ragwind /etc' might help figure out where that's set. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>". Here is an exact example of a message I tried to post: Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: alt.test.test Subject: ignore this test using debian From: Debian User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Newsreader: Gnus v5.7/Emacs 20.7 Date: 21 May 2002 08:06:27 -0700 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
