Message-ID: <1991Apr13.134056.30936@mp.cs.niu.edu> Organization: Northern Illinois University Date: Sat, 13 Apr 1991 13:40:56 GMT Lines: 19 I have recently been receiving messages such as this: leading five sites sending news with bad headers: 2 mp.cs.niu.edu The funny thing is that the site listed is my own. What exactly is happening here? When I look through the log files, the timing of arrival of these messages suggests they really originated somewhere else (They appear in the midst of a stream of log messages from another site). Is this just a bad 'Control: cancel', or is it something else. Can the message be a little less misleading? -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
