Hello,
The error message says `mail-host-address' is not set.
You can customize the variable thus:
M-x customize-variable mail-host-address RET
I don't think the value matters too much. You could set it to a string
that contains a non-routable FQDN, like "localhost.lan".
In Gnus, you can inspect the mail headers by typing t in the message
buffer. You can see what other Gnus users do by looking at the
Message-ID header: the text to the right of the @-sign is the
`mail-host-address' of that Gnus user.
HTH,
Leo
