how do I adjust a Path header?
my host news.alt.net allows for pre-loading
when the FQDN is set what I get without any preloading is
Path: news.alt.net!dale

I want

I think this is a requirement from my host

I tried editing ~./nn/init
to add
set news-header Path: !www.dalekelly.org!news.alt.net
but the post doesn't go through
other news-headers work in ~./nn/init work
I am using
User-Agent: nn/6.7.3

example:
Path: !www.dalekelly.org!alt.net!POSTED!not-for-mail

So many morons, so little time.
To preload your path simply add a Path: header
to your client's header editor.
example:
Path: !www.dalekelly.org!alt.net!POSTED!not-for-mail
another example:
Path: !snipe.eternal-september.org!alt.net!POSTED!not-for-mail
Dumbass!

Here is another path preload that worked just
fine for me when frogging another subscriber.
Message-ID: <iol86ctmnmm09nvgae61f9akbkli6mkmia@4ax.com>
To do a good froggery, one has to make the path look
like the path one is frogging. A proper pre-load
accomplishes this as well as oftentimes keeping the
person being frogged from even seeing the post since
his server is fooled into thinking he has seen it
already. LOL

Only a moron would provide such meaningless generic advice and not
the nn specifics the OP was looking for.

the header I get is
Path: news.alt.net!dale
I don't think this is what Altopia requires
in the FAQ Altopia says something like
Path: news.alt.net!yoursite!news.alt.net
is what is acceptable
note the only other headers set in
~./nn/init
are
Reply-To
and
Organization
I think the path statement is picking up my name, dale, from the
Reply-To header
my From header seems to be constructed from
my Reply-To header
and the domain, dalekelly.org set in /etc/resolv.conf
note I have to reset the domain in resolv.conf upon each startup
You should post the actual contents of your ~./nn/init file.
But in the meantime does it contain an entry like this:
set news-header Path: !www.dalekelly.org!alt.net!POSTED!not-for-mail;

I didn't have the semi-colon at the end of the Path statement ...
but I still get the error
Article not Accepted by server; not posted
with ~./nn/init as follows
set mail-header From: dale ;Reply-To: dale@dalekelly.org;
set mail-header Organization: DELETEME;
set news-header From: dale ;Reply-To: dale@dalekelly.org;

set mail-header Organization: DELETEME;
set news-header From: dale ;Reply-To: dale@dalekelly.org;

the result posts with Path Header

I'm looking for something described in

Path: ...!news.alt.net!valid_looking_site_name!news.alt.net
Thanks much
Don't enter multiple identical header types. Try this:
set news-header From: dale;Reply-To: dale@dalekelly.org;Organization: DELETEME;Path: !www.dalekelly.org!alt.net!POSTED!not-for-mail
set mail-header From: dale;Reply-To: dale@dalekelly.org;Organization: DELETEME

that worked!!!
Thanks Much
there isn't much nn documentation around, man page is thorough but I
never was good at man pages
This is decent nn documentation.
http://www.linuxcertif.com/man/1/nn/
Now that is't fixed, let's see those headers!
how do I permanently set a fully qualified domain name (FQDN)?
