(1) Is it simply an email, with Gmane as the sender ? With no mention of the newsgroup poster in any of the headers ? OR (2) Is there anything contained in any of the headers from Gmane that refers to the newsgroup poster ? I know some of you unix guys are pretty smart. Has anyone been able to see/grep these headers to see what they say please ? The reason I ask is because couldn't I potentially block all posts from Gmane ? Then in my Privacy options - accept_these_nonmembers add the names of "authorised" subscribers ? The "accept_these_nonmembers" in CPanel appears to allow regexp filtering so the subscriber info could be anywhere in the "address". [Also what exactly is the "address" Mailman is talking about here ? The From: line ? Or all the headers ?] Any comments on any/all of the above appreciated.
