Yup, you're 100% correct.  I guess I should've called it quits when my eyes
were getting blurry a few hours before.  :)  Sorry about that.

But this bring up an interesting problem for me.  I'm setting up a system
that will allow members to communicate via Web forums, newsgroups, or 
mailing lists, but with the same content shared between them all.

That means that I don't want some messages to make it through to the mailing
list portion or Web-based portion, but not make it through to the newsgroup.

With that in mind, is there a recommended pre-processor that can be used
to wrap the mailing list/Web interface with the same types of checks?  Yes,
I can pull the code from the inn source and write a C binary to do it, but
I would actually prefer a snippet of Perl code.  Yes, I can write one myself,
but if there's one already out there...

Also, is there any problem with me replacing bad Message-Ids with a properly
generated one?  All messages will come from authenticated sources, so I'm
not concerned about spam.  I just need to make sure that anything that 
comes through from any of the three input sources gets sent to all output
media.

Thanks,

Chris
