You should make sure the rejection is really caused by that field.
The reason is written in your news log files.
As a matter of fact, INN rejects articles posted 24h in the future, as
required by standards. It does not reject an article posted 5h in the
future.

That rule cannot be configured to be skipped.

When I was gating dodgy email into Usenet groups, I sometimes found it
easier to just rename the Date header to X-Original-Date in the
preprocessing step rather than messing with it. That way the original
data is there if you care, but you don't have to do a lot of work.

Patches well received. Thanks for them! Days of work there.
I'll have a look soon and keep you informed.
Can I put credits for you in a comment at the beginning of a few source
files?

Many thanks for that useful documentation!

Thank you so much for working on this! I'm very excited by the idea. It
feels like a great way to do overview that will be easier to maintain.

Hi Julien,
thanx for your patience. It happened again yesterday, so I am able to
send you the configuration and a sample.
There are 2 EMail aliases on our inews & sendmail server saying
CUSTOMER_BOSS: "|/usr/lib/news/bin/mailpost -c 15 -b /var/tmp -x To:CC
example.projects.CUSTOMER_BOSS"
example.projects.CUSTOMER_BOSS: "|/usr/lib/news/bin/mailpost -c 15 -b /var/tmp
-x To:CC example.projects.CUSTOMER_BOSS"
(We have >50 aliases following this scheme. They are generated from
the list of local newsgroups matching "example.projects.SOMETHING". The
"short" alias was introduced to make it easy for our colleagues to post
by EMail.)
AFAICT the EMail/News article was posted using thunderbird. The header
I received within the mailpost failure message was
Path: example.com!anja
From: [email protected] (Anja)
Newsgroups: example.projects.CUSTOMER_BOSS
To: "Alexander" <[email protected]>,
Steffen <[email protected]>,
=?UTF-8?Q?Kalle_S=c3=b6chmann?= <[email protected]>
Cc: Bernd <[email protected]>,
Anke <[email protected]>,
CUSTOMER_BOSS <[email protected]>,

As you can see, Anja posted the article twice: Once per Newsgroup integration
in Thunderbird, and once via the "short" EMail alias. I cannot blame Anja here.
She just clicked on [reply to all].
Question was whether it would be possible to silently ignore the
duplicate article without sending a mailpost failure EMail?
Regards
Harri
