Q: When I post an article on the host innd is running then the header
``NNTP-Posting-Host'' is set to localhost.do.main instead of the real
fqdn.

A: Local connections often go through the loopback interface so the
ip-number is the one of the localhost (127.0.0.1). In /etc/hosts (or 
if you are running bind in that config) just add the name of your
machine e.g. change from

      127.0.0.1   localhost

to

      127.0.0.1   machinename localhost
