I'd kind of like to see that happen, just because that way it's very clear
what our stance is on the thing.  I don't really like having code that
can't be easily customized for local behavior but that needs such
customization sitting around in the core code.

That's a good idea.  nnrpd should really pass the identity assigned by
readers.conf to the posting filter as an argument.  Maybe something to
tackle when we clean up the interface to the posting filters.  That's an
INN 2.5 thing.
