Hi,
After years and years of running version 1 of INN, I just brought up version
2.2.1 on a DEC Alpha running Digital UNIX V4.0D. It's going great. No compile
problems and so far it's running like a champ. Nice work.
Here's one item that might be a bug (it is for us) or might be a conscious
decision. In frontends/inews.c, Revision: 1.15.2.5, at line 368 you find this
code:
/* Is the right person cancelling? */
if (!EQ(localfrom, remotefrom)) {
(void)fprintf(stderr,
"Article was posted by \"%s\" and you are \"%s\".\n",
remotefrom, localfrom);
QuitServer(1);
}
Since we are basically comparing email addresses, I would argue that the EQ
should be a caseEQ, ie the comparison should be case-insensitive. This bit us.
I will probably make the change unless you have a reason not to.
