question about patch 10070

[Harald Dunkel]

Hi folks,

https://inn.eyrie.org/trac/changeset/10070 tells me

Articles containing control characters or whitespace-only content lines
in their headers are now rejected by B<nnrpd> at injection time.

This appears to be pretty painful. AFAICT some Windows spam filters create
lines like

	X-Spam-Level: 

without any content after colon-space.

Wouldn't it be better to silently ignore all the empty "X-something: " 
lines?

I stumbled over this problem via mailpost. After the upgrade to 2.6.1
tons of EMails got rejected with an error message

inews failed: inews: cannot send article to server: 441 Invalid syntax 
encountered in headers (unexpected byte, no colon-space, or empty content 
line) inews: article not posted
