   Could some kind soul tell me how I would change the From: field in
   the header? My company has one and only one address for employees --
   It is fixed, and is not related to what machine we post from. However
   whenever I post with gnus, it makes my From: address equal to the 
   machine I am posting from -- Any mail people send to this address
   will be bounced! since it is not the official company address. *sigh*

It's not the "From:" header you want to change -- it's "Reply-to:".  Put
this in your ~/.emacs:

  (setq mail-default-reply-to "vaitkus@ceres.lexmark.com (Keith Vaitkus)")
