I recently noticed that the default knews rpm available through YAST for some reason did not find my correct domain but put in one that I could not edit. I looked through the docs for knews and found out that the domain is coded during compilation time and is not resettable in the config or other files. I ended up recompiling knews 0.9.8. Does anyone use knews out there? Is there an easier way to make the default FROM: address change after installing the rpm? I have a friend who wants to use knews and has been struggling with what it says is his FROM: also. He uses "distribution x" and has problems compiling knews. We have exchanged email correspondence to no avail. He does have slrn working quite well but is interested in exploring his options as far as internet applications go. In his case, his domain is something like stargazer,thisdomain.com and knews is only putting in thisdomain.com each time. He can edit the FROM: address each time sending a post, email, or followup... It seems that there should be something as easy as adding the correct FROM: line as in a .slrnrc file. Any ideas gratefully accepted. I unfortunately can only exchange email with him. He lives across the country from me.
You can configure sendmail to replace your From: line like you want to, so you don't need to recompile knews...
