[afnog] header mangling is a no-no

Fri Nov 12 17:53:32 EAT 2004

here is a nice example of what your mail transfer agent and
mailing list exploder should NOT do.  the afnog exploder or
mta unilaterally violated the rules and modified the header.
in particular, i sent

    To: <cidr-report at potaroo.net>
    Cc: <nanog at merit.edu>, <eof-list at ripe.net>, <apops at apops.net>,
        <routing-wg at ripe.net>, <afnog at afnog.org>, <swinog at swinog.ch>

and the list modified it to

    To: <cidr-report at potaroo.net>
    Cc: swinog at swinog.ch
    Cc: routing-wg at ripe.net
    Cc: nanog at merit.edu
    Cc: apops at apops.net
    Cc: eof-list at ripe.net
    Cc: afnog at afnog.org

not cool.

imiho, it should not have modified the Subject: either.  your
mail filter can look at Return-path: or Sender: if it cares.

Subject: [afnog] RE: The Cidr Report

geoff,

your proggy already knows what filter list(s) would keep us
from carrying the polluters' rubbish.  any chance you could
generate the filter code for juniper, procket, and cisco so
automated router builds could fetch it with batch wget or ncftp
or whatever?

another cutie would be if whovever is maintaining peval this
week could add an option to not deliver covered prefixes from
the same origin?

no slur intended on any particular polluter.  but i think what
we have here is the strafing of the commons.  enough is enough.

randy
