I asked this question a week or so ago and received no answer. I searched the archives and found various others who asked the question and I found either that no-one answered or what was suggested didn't work for me.
Here is the set-up: Latest Frozen version of Debian; dynamic ppp dialup; leafnode gathers the newsgroups I am interested in. Knews looks to localhost and can read news wonderfully. No problem there. But whenever I try to post or to forward news by mail I receive the error message: Domain name not available. >From digging in the archives, I checked my hostname (gently) which by virtue of me being dynamic ppp does not exist outside of my own box. I checked dnsdomainname (netins.net) this does exist and is the domain name for my server. My /etc/hosts reads like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 gently.netins.net gently That's all I've been able to find out as meaningful from looking at previous discussions of this question.
