Don't allow any info about your local machine to leak into email
headers.  Gnus is pretty anal about this, but I was unable to talk
Lars out of it.  The easiest way is probably to relay through a local
sendmail that has full domain masquerading enabled.

Something like:

(autoload 'smtpmail-send-it "smtpmail")
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "localhost")
(setq smtp-local-domain "uchicago.edu")

in your .gnusrc should do it.  You might also need to add

(setq message-syntax-checks 'dont-check-for-anything-just-trust-me)
(setq message-sendmail-f-is-evil t)
