posting_host
------------

   Usage: posting_host hostname

   The hostname specified in this command will be used to generate
   Message-IDs. Please note that it is usually not necessary to set this
   manually, as slrn uses the fully-qualified domain name of the machine
   it is running on for this task, which is the correct solution in most
   cases.

   However, if your system is part of a local network, it might not have
   an official hostname. As the current MESSFOR draft permits the use of
   hostnames without a DNS record for Message-ID generation, some
   providers started to give each user a unique hostname that may be used
   here.

   Note: Do not use this command unless you fully understand the
   implications. Specifically, do not enter an arbitrary string here!
   Instead, please turn off generate_message_id if the hostname found
   by slrn is not unique.
