I hardly think my small addition qualifies as a hack, as I wrote it in about 3 minutes; but here is a very simple way to have users post via the gateway via their regular email address, and not one put together from makeshift message-id.

In gateway.php, search for,

$get_userinfo=$DB_site->query("SELECT signature,usertitle,customtitle FROM user WHERE userid=$newthread[userid] LIMIT 1");
$userinfo=$DB_site->fetch_array($get_userinfo);
$signature = "\n--\n";
$signature .= $newthread[username];

Replace it with,

$get_userinfo=$DB_site->query("SELECT signature,usertitle,customtitle,email FROM user WHERE userid=$newthread[userid] LIMIT 1");
$userinfo=$DB_site->fetch_array($get_userinfo);
$signature = "\n--\n";
$signature .= $newthread[username];
$my_email = $userinfo[email];

In gateway.php, search for,

if ($grouptype=='news'){
    $response = $news->post($cat . unhtmlspecialchars($newthread[title]),$group[newsgroup], "$newthread[username] <$msgid>", $message,"Date: ".date("D, j M Y H:i:s O",$newthread[dateline])."\r\nMessage-ID: <$msgid>\r\nOrganization: $settings[organization]\r\nUser-Agent: $settings[useragent]\r\nX-Newsreader: $settings[useragent]\r\nX-Originating-IP: $newthread[ipaddress]$ref");

Replace it with,

if ($grouptype=='news'){
    $response = $news->post($cat . unhtmlspecialchars($newthread[title]),$group[newsgroup], "$newthread[username] <$my_email>", $message,"Date: ".date("D, j M Y H:i:s O",$newthread[dateline])."\r\nMessage-ID: <$msgid>\r\nOrganization: $settings[organization]\r\nUser-Agent: $settings[useragent]\r\nX-Newsreader: $settings[useragent]\r\nX-Originating-IP: $newthread[ipaddress]$ref");
