comparison docs/noffle.conf.5 @ 494:372f8b55506e noffle

[svn] Apply patch from Jan De Luyck. Add new option 'add-messageid-if-missing', which optionally postpones adding a message ID to the upstream server. If this is done, post-locally must be off. This is to deal with an upstream server troubling Jan. It usually (but not always) rejects posts with a Noffle message ID. I have changed Jan's original option of 'add-message-id-if-missing' for consistency with 'replace-messageid' and added the manual page entry. See SourceForge feature request 1513395.

238 generated by NOFFLE. NOFFLE will always add a Message-ID if none is 238 generated by NOFFLE. NOFFLE by default adds a Message-ID if none is
239 present, or replace a Message-ID that does not meet the basic 239 present. However, some news readers may generate Message-IDs that are
240 formatting and content requirements for a Message-ID. However, some 240 not accepted by some servers (for example the server may insist the

249 NOFFLE by default will always add a Message-ID a posted article if the

253 to prefer to assign their own Message-IDs, to the extent of often
254 rejecting posts with perfectly legitimate Message-IDs. If you are
255 unfortunate enough to be confronted by one of these beasts, you can
256 change
257 .B add\-messageid\-if-missing
