An odd article in rec.humor just came to our site. It had *two* Path: headers. Cnews dutifully prepended our machine name to both of them, but presumably detected that our upstream wasn't on the second (empty) Path: line and so it also sent it back to them. Someone's software was BD'd enough to allow this creation on to the net, so I guess we should protect ourselves. We are a leaf site running Cnews with up through the 13-Nov-89 patch. I noticed this article because we are a leaf site, and as such, the only articles we send to our (one) neighbor originate here. I noticed an article leaving our site today with a non-local message-id. This was the article: >Path: banzai!uvm-gen!uunet!cs.utexas.edu!tut.cis.ohio-state.edu!ucbvax!ucdavis!uucp >From: uucp@ucdavis.ucdavis.edu (uucp) >Newsgroups: rec.humor >Subject: Mike's Madness #15 >Message-ID: <6075@ucdavis.ucdavis.edu> >Date: 29 Nov 89 05:21:14 GMT >Reply-To: uunet!sun!pacbell!sactoh0!mjb (Mike Beebe) >Organization: Yucks For You, Inc., Sacramento, CA >Lines: 224 >Keywords: Mike's Madness #15 >Path: banzai! -- Jay Schuster <jay@pcc.COM> uunet!uvm-gen!banzai!jay, attmail!banzai!jay The People's Computer Company `Revolutionary Programming'
