This last line is definitely 100% WRONG:
,----[ C-h v mail-host-address RET ]
| `mail-host-address' is a variable declared in Lisp.

When you set this to your email-address instead of - what it says -
the name of the machine, your Message-Id will have two '@'-signs and
therefore be invalid.
Where did you get the idea to set mail-host-address like this?

You can use - tada - C-h v variable-name RET.
You can run a function (like (system-name)) by simply placing your
cursor after the closing paren and pressing C-x C-e.

This is all not that relevant to Gnus (how you configure your box),
but setting user-mail-address should bypass this anyway, I would
assume.

No, that is a little strange. Doesn't happen here.
If I were you, I'd either locate the line in my configuration that
makes the From:-line stop appearing (by commenting out lines), or use
edebug to walk through the relevant function to see why it doesn't
appear.
