Hi The format is <openSUSE forum login name>@<no-mx.forums.opensuse.org> so it's munged, this will then reference back to you actual account so you don't show up as Guest on the web side.
And what is the expected format for people using only nntp without a forum name? I see that some, like Per, use their openSUSE addresses. To me, it feels strange seeing so many people using aliases instead of real (or apparently real) names.
A legal e-mail address at the minimum. Some people use pseudonyms, some use real names, some use fake e-mail addresses, some use real ones. It's typical to not use a real e-mail address because spammers tend to harvest e-mail addresses from newsgroups. Even gmane munges e-mail addresses - even in the message body text.
Traditionally, on NNTP you could fake an address like "real like name" <http://objects.povworld.org/links10.html@public.gmane.org>, which served to deter spam.
Do you see the quoted address here as an address at public.gmane.org (the user portion is name-BxgFnWKfcnbUF6G2QusZNg ) - I'm not sure what your original was (or if that was the original), but I know gmane munges it. I see myself on gmane as hendersj-[random character string] at public.gmane.org instead of my gmail.com e-mail address.
