It's hardcoded to news at YOUR-FQDN at the moment. Do you consider this a
bug? It can still be changed before 1.9.47.

If you don't mind using a text editor on leafnode code, edit line 297 in
nntpd.c, then type "make" and "make install" again, it currently reads:

    fprintf(f, "From: Leafnode <news@%s>\n", fqdn);

You can just replace it by by a fixed string:

    fprintf(f, "%s\n", "From: Leafnode <newsadmin at example.org>");

Any other experiences you'd like to report? This is the first rc1
related post I receive - I have no got other feedback as to whether the
1.9.47 bugfixes break things, fix things, yet :-/
