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:
