I don't think it should strip any of those things, except if the post was
generated locally and you're sending it using "post" rather than "ihave".
Otherwise you're injecting a bogus copy of the post into the system.

2.2 certainly does.

Yes, definitely. If you're using "post", you should only be sending on your
own local posts to ONE isp. If you're using "ihave", you can cross feed
between multiple upstream hosts.
