It may be a header that Pan is adding, but again, you have to ask the posting provider for the details because only they know what's in their post filter. I've run NNTP servers on more than a few occasions, and I can tell you definitively that the "441 Posting Failed (Rejected by POST filter)" means that it's something being filtered by the provider - and *only* the provider can give you more specifics. We could guess, but it would be nothing but a guess. Post filters on the systems that I've worked on are perl scripts and can filter on anything in the headers or the body of the message. There is no way to know what specifically that provider has put in their filter without asking them or experimenting. It may be as simple as they've blocked posts where the NNTP-Posting-Agent isn't one of a set list of allowed clients, or where it excludes Pan explicitly for some reason. Or it could be that it doesn't like the format of the NNTP-Posting-Date header. Or under "More Headers" you could have a header in there that they want to reject. I've written post filters myself, and I've excluded based on e-mail address, posting agent, IP address range, and words in the body text. It really can be anything. You have to ask the provider to help you diagnose it.
