Here's what's hapening here.  GNATS is not filling in a complete "From:"
field.  Observe:

SEND-PR:
SEND-PR: bin   conf  docs  gnu   i386  kern  misc  ports
SEND-PR:
To: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org
Subject:
From: dburr                            <--- No hostname in here!
Reply-To: dburr@POBoxes.com
X-send-pr-version: 3.2

If I send a PR as like this, the PR will be filed, but I won't get an
acknowledgement from GNATS.

However, if I manually edit the 'From:' field to be my real Internet
e-mail address, as in:

SEND-PR:
SEND-PR: bin   conf  docs  gnu   i386  kern  misc  ports
SEND-PR:
To: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org
Subject:
From: dburr@POBoxes.com                        <--- added in the hostname
Reply-To: dburr@POBoxes.com
X-send-pr-version: 3.2

then the pr will be sent correctly, AND I will get acknowldgement from
gnats at FreeBSD.

This is on a 2.2.5-R system, by the way.
