Well, I didn't expect such a big change, so I didn't read it. Now that I've
read it, I can't say that the description is very explicit. It doesn't say
that it only works if you have a FQDN.

It did, but I thought that this couldn't be the problem since it worked with
1.9.19.

I've sent a mail to my provider. Hopefully they know what a FQDN is :)

The problem with those faqs is, that they tell you that you need one, but
not why you need one. I thought that since my postings receive a message-id
from my provider, that ensures that those message-ids are unique. That's the
whole point of the FQDN, isn't it?
