Hi folks,
https://inn.eyrie.org/trac/changeset/10070 tells me
Articles containing control characters or whitespace-only content lines
in their headers are now rejected by B<nnrpd> at injection time.
This appears to be pretty painful. AFAICT some Windows spam filters create
lines like
X-Spam-Level:
without any content after colon-space.
Wouldn't it be better to silently ignore all the empty "X-something: "
lines?
I stumbled over this problem via mailpost. After the upgrade to 2.6.1
tons of EMails got rejected with an error message
inews failed: inews: cannot send article to server: 441 Invalid syntax
encountered in headers (unexpected byte, no colon-space, or empty content
line) inews: article not posted
Regards
Harri

That was indeed a side effect of the patch, appearing in mail
gatewaying. I'm sorry it generated a regression in mailpost, that was
not behaving how it should have.
That bug was fixed in patch 10156:

Hi Russ and Dominik,

We renamed "radius.conf" into "inn-radius.conf" in INN 2.5.4 but it was
for good cause. The libradius package obviously has precedence over
INN! And of course we kept homogeneity between the config file name and
its associated man page.

I also agree to keep the storage.conf(5) name.
