Congrats on not forging a mailbox this time.

The Sender header is NOT meant to be used to reiterate the mailbox in
From. The Sender header is meant to be used on messages send from another
host that the user on From lacks permission to use. If you send the
message from the host you use from your own account, you don't use Sender.

No. You WANT newgroups archived. They aren't secret messages, unless it's
your intent that the group shouldn't be created.

Hint: XNA is ignored when archiving messages at ftp.isc.org, so nyah.

>Booster message to help propagation


No, this ISN'T a booster. It's a retrocharter. Congrats on setting a bad
precedent. Booster messages must be IDENTICAL to the initial newgroup
(except that they say "booster") and are NEVER used to change or add a
charter. Their purpose is to hit some News server that may have come on
line recently accidently set to create any and all crap newsgroups. No
good comes of sending boosters more than once a year, and they are
generally thought to be ineffective at accomplishing any purpose.

In any event, this still isn't a booster message.

>For your newsgroups file:

SHOULD end in a period, as you've been told repeatedly. And delimit with a
tab character, not spaces.

Too bad the proponent couldn't be bothered to include it in the initial
newgroup, where it belonged.
