The problem is that (I assume) it should read: Path: sp90!sanand or Path: sp90.uucp!sanand but not Path: sp90!sp90.uucp!sanand. I am running Cnews. The path is OK before "inews", but somewhere after, the header gets broken. The contents of mailname and whoami are: sp90.uucp sp90 Thanks. Sanand (sp90!sanand -- not sp90!sp90.uucp!sanand)

Only in specialized situations, like gatewaying of mail to news, should there be a Path line in the input to inews. That is the problem: inews sees the Path line, says "hmm, he must know what he's doing", and leaves it alone, passing the article to relaynews, which does what it's supposed to do and prepends the local host name to Path. You need to look *before* inews and figure out where that "sp90.uucp!sanand" is coming from. -- It is not possible to both understand | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology and appreciate Intel CPUs. -D.Wolfskill| henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry

The Pnews.header includes it for nntp posting, giving: news-host!nntp-posting-host!user I just removed the Path definition in Pnews.header because I want to 'site hide' anyway. Of course, if sanand isn't using rn, sorry. -- \/ato. Ian Dickinson. GNU's not got BSE. When I grow up I want to be a vato@cu.warwick.ac.uk Plinth. Water Elemental.

I have yet to succesfully get nn to post an article (working on it).
