Unfortunately Gnus v5.9 prefers the system name if it contains dots,
and there is no way to let Gnus honor `mail-host-address' other than
modifying the `message-make-fqdn' function.  If you wish to do so,
add this form to your ~/.gnus.el file:

(defun message-make-fqdn ()
  mail-host-address)

But you'd better upgrade your Gnus (and also Emacs if possible) to
the modern one.  Gnus v5.10.8[1] supports Emacs 21 and Emacs 22.1
provides Gnus v5.11.  With those versions of Gnus, you can control
the domain part of Message-ID by the `message-user-fqdn' variable.
