That is also true (furthermore, it is very easy to do).
And it seems better than changing the addnntppostinghost variable from BOOL
to STRING whose values can also be "true" or "false".


I think we can take the opportunity to greatly improve the samples provided
with filter_nnrpd.pl (and also filter_innd.pl/py nnrpd_access/auth/*, etc.).
It can be useful for people.

For instance, specifying a couple of lines for NNTP-Posting-Host and
how $modify_headers works.
Samples for different return values ('DROP', 'SPOOL', '', 'article rejected')
could also be interesting.
