For the past few months I have been posting biweekly "checkgroups"
messages to the "na" distribution. The header of the control message
specifically says to respond to "nobody". Thus, I should never get any
automatic complains from news software complaining about "unknown
control message" as would be the case for sites running ancient news.
Unfortunately, the following sites are not only running software old
enough to not understand "checkgroups", but they ignore the "Reply-to"
header, thus violating the Usenet article interchange standard (and
helping to flood my mailbox).
If you are at one of these sites or know someone at one of these sites,
please ask the system admin to install 2.11 news and rejoin the
mainstream of the net. At least one of these sites is running 2.9
news, and over half are running news versions released over 3 1/2 years
ago!
