6.20. Complaints-To
The Complaints-To-header is added to an article by an injecting agent
in order to indicate the mailbox to which complaints concerning the
poster of the article may be sent.
header =/ Complaints-To-header
Complaints-To-header
= "Complaints-To" ":" SP Complaints-To-content
Complaints-To-content
= address-list
A Complaints-To-header MUST NOT be added to an article by any agent
other than an injecting agent. Any Complaints-To-header present when
an article arrives at an injecting agent MUST be removed. In
particular if, for some exceptional reason (8.2.2), an article gets
injected twice, the Complaints-To-header will always relate to the
second injection.
The specified mailbox is for sending complaints concerning the
behaviour of the poster of the article; it SHOULD NOT be used for
matters concerning propagation, protocol problems, etc. which should
be addressed to "usenet@" or "news@" the path-identity which was
prepended to the Path-header by the injecting agent, in accordance
with section 5.6.2. In the absence of this header, complaints
concerning a poster's behaviour MAY be addressed to "abuse@" that
path-identity (although section 5.6.2 provides no obligation for that
address to be mailable at an injecting agent that is not provided for
the use of the general public).
