Package: leafnode

Severity: important

Hi,
leafnode generates Path: -headers if the news reader skips this task.
The generated Path: -header consists of the value of the hostname config
line, a "!" and the value of the NEWS_USER macro, i.e. "news".
The user is referred to README-FQDN.txt in order to choose a valid host
name for the generation of unique Message-Ids. In my case, I've chosen
the FQDN of my upstream news-server. This works fine for me, but is not an
optimal solution (if possible, the suggestion of the news-server should
be chosen -- tin seems to work like this).
However, the header line "Path: <nntp-server-fqdn>!news" causes a
problem with the news-servers lying upstream to my provider's news-server
and my articles are rejected. I figured out, that the entry "news" is
responsible for this and I suggest to use "Path: not-for-mail" in
general, since leafnode should (IMO) behave like a news-client, not like
a server.
Cheers,
Michael
