I've been noticing problems with articles posted to comp.mail.maps over the last few weeks. Sometimes, articles are rejected with the error message "inews: Not contributor: posted by pleasant@rutgers, and you are uucpmap@rutgers.rutgers.edu". The article is then placed in the maps spool directory, but it is not sent on to any downstream sites, nor is the superseded article canceled. I've appended the headers from two u.usa.ks.1 maps. The first article is canceled by the second. However, the second article was rejected with the above error message. The difference between the two is the second does not have a Sender: header. Is this a problem with my news system, the poster's news system, or what? I'm running B 2.11.17, using the dbz package. Thanks for any help.
