Or maybe even self-certification? We run a local newsgroup that rejects
any posts that do not have an X-certified-by: header in it. The value of
the header doesn't matter in our group, the whole point is if people
don't know how to post to this group - they sholdn't be posting! :)
Maybe this is a little technical for -questions, but for the others...?
Just a thought.
