! Note: Tin requires a valid fully qualified domain name for the host you are
!       running tin on. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A HOST NAME WITH A VALID DOMAIN GO
!       AND GET ONE AND CONFIGURE YOUR HOST -- NOW! (This will prevent
!       problems with other software, too.) Otherwise users may get "Invalid
|       Sender" error messages and won't be able to post using the internal
|       inews. You may optionally have a look at the tin.defaults file (watch
|       out for disable_sender) and install it in the --with-defaults-dir
|       directory using 'make install_sysdefs'.
