elusive Followup-To: header
|
|
| Bullwinkle 2005-05-18, 7:49 am |
| When I try to set the Followup-To: header it more often than not doesn't
make it through to the news. I haven't yet determined whether this header
deletion is consistently attributable to the final remailer or to the m2n
gateway, or sometimes one and sometimes the other.
I see that my posts made through frell and parsifal have both lost their
Followup-To: header. Is there a reason why this header is not honored?
There would seem to be even less avenue for abuse with it than with the
Newsgroups: header itself. So why not allow Followup-To: provided the
groups listed are all in the article's Newsgroups: header?

At present it's dropped by the parsifal remailer. All the checks that are
done on the Newsgroups header would have to be done on the Followup-To
header, and I'm not up for doing them at the moment.
So I'll have to leave it dropped.
