[My system is running Linux 2.0.29.]

When I post to USENET (from Emacs), I get a warning
indicating that my system is misconfigured. 

See mail-header for this posting.  Notice that
the `From:' field shows grasshopper as my hostname.
But obviously that's an incomplete domain name.
How can I fix this?  [Modify sendmail.cf ?]

Notice the `Message-ID:' field.  I'm guessing this
warning will go away once the hostname problem is fixed.

Thanks.
