Just to clarify a bit further... :-)
In the C News version of inews there is a section of script that checks if
the article is a "polite" article.
---------
# 64512 = 63*1024 to allow for Path: growth
max=64512
if test "`wc -c <$censart`" -gt $max; then
echo "$0: your article is over $max bytes, which makes it likely to be"
>&2
echo "$0: dropped by older sites (and it's impolite to post such big ">&2
echo "$0: articles). Try splitting it up, if you must." >&2
exit 1 # clean up
fi
---------
Make max what you want. This is for initial injection into the systems and
not for passing it on at the next site. This is not a restriction with
INN. This is policy in software as far as I am concerned. Henry wrote it
in script so that it would be easy to change the policy to match local needs.
The inews script's comment at the top...
# Yes, it's big, slow and awkward. The alternative is casting a lot of
# local policy in C.
If this is a show stopper... :-)
