Yes, that's right. I was testing some additions I made to the
script mirroring comp.lang.ruby to ruby-talk, which is supposed
to generate a pseudo- (but rfc2822-compliant) Received-header
to indicate where the Usenet-posting originated.

This behaviour is recommended by SpamCop, and is needed because
of the mass of reports we are getting because SpamCop tracks down
our host as the source of the mails which were reported to them.

The strange thing is that the header of the mail I am sending out looks
sane, but it's getting mangled somewhere in transit. I did not had any
time to look into it yesterday, so I just disabled the additional header.

Kind regards,
                   Dennis Oelkers
