Re: gated mailing list in control newsgroup

Hi Marco,

Does anybody know why this message is in the "control" newsgroup on E-S?

I bet it is because of the following header fields:

Control: reassign -1 vtk9
Control: affects -1 opm-grid
Control: tags -1 -ftbfs

During the gatewaying, they should be rewritten to X-Control header fields.  Otherwise, a news server may think they are control articles.
I've just checked the mailpost program shipped with INN to gateway mailing-lists, and it normally does that.  I assume eternal-september uses a custom script.
