[net.news.sa] more gateway madness - hplabs again...

grr@cbmvax.cbm.UUCP (George Robbins) (05/12/86)

Well, here's today's flavor of defective article coming out of hplabs:

--------------------

Z Relay-Version: version B 2.10.3 4.3bsd-beta 6/6/85; site cbmvax.cbmvax.cbm.UUCP
Z Path: cbmvax!bpa!burdvax!sdcrdcf!hplabs!hpislx!

Note that the both the Path: and From: are munged, in addition to the Lines: 0
problem.

I realize that it may not actually be hplabs, but all the corrupt stuff I've
seen has common hplabs path segments, or is shown as originating at hplabs.

Anybody for a patch to inews to toss all Lines: 0 articles except control
messages?  All I've ever seen have been posting mistakes or software problems,
with one or two people trying to be clever with the summary line....
