[faq-maintainers] RFC violations of this list software

[This got bounced the first time on the grounds that it included a
Message-ID header quoted in the body!]

Received: from 157.22.240.7 by lists.consensus.com (Lyris SMTP service); 16 Aug 98 11:24:12 PDT7 from:<pogo@qz.little-neck.ny.us> to:<FAQ-Maintainers@lists.consensus.com>

That received header violates RFC 822. Received: has a specific
syntax, it is not a free-form header; and all that crud added on the
end after the timestamp is in violation of that syntax.

[following line munged to confuse Lyris]

Message-1d: &gt;LYR953-91--andrew<AT>erlenstar.demon.co.uk&lt;

That message-ID violates RFC 822, because the generating host cannot
guarantee its uniqueness. *NO-ONE* other than my machine should be
generating message-ids ending in @erlenstar.demon.co.uk>.
