Injection-Date and Injection-Info in nnrpd

Hi,

Here is what I suggest for nnrpd (shipped with INN 2.5.2).
Fell free to comment it.

* The Injection-Date: header can be set by a posting agent.  If not
  set, it is always added with POST (not IHAVE).  If set but wrong,
  the article is rejected before its injection.

* The Injection-Info: header cannot be set by a posting agent.
  It is always added with POST (not IHAVE).  Examples:

  Injection-Info: <path-identity>; posting-host="<Client.host>:<Client.ip>";
          logging-data="<pid>"; mail-complaints-to="<complaints>"

  Injection-Info: news.trigofacile.com;
          posting-host="aaubervilliers-151-1-48-186.w83-114.abo.wanadoo.fr:83.114.132.186";
          logging-data="25669"; mail-complaints-to="abuse at trigofacile.com"

  Is it the server name in <path-identity>?  (I do not find where it is
  explained in RFC 5536.)  We put here the domain or the virtual domain.

  There is no posting-account information.  Unless you see something interesting
  to give here, known by nnrpd?

  There may be posting-host="83.114.132.186:83.114.132.186" if reversing
  the IP address does not work.

* Go on rejecting articles whose Date: header is too far in
  the past, even though Injection-Date: is fine.

* Adding NNTP-Posting-Host: and NNTP-Posting-Date: is set
  to false in the inn.conf sample file for INN 2.5.2 (therefore,
  they can still be generated with INN 2.5.2), and these
  parameters are removed in INN 2.6.0 (though still retrievable
  via innd filters).

* The generation of X-Trace: and X-Complaints-To: is kept in INN 2.5.2
  but removed in INN 2.6.0 (though still retrievable via innd filters).

* No longer look at (and refuse) the Injector-Info: header
  in INN 2.5.2.

* Also-Control:, Article-Names:, Article-Updates: and See-Also: are
  obsolete and refused in INN 2.5.2.  [Or INN 2.6.0?]

* No longer add the Lines: header in INN 2.5.2.  [Or INN 2.6.0?]
