6.19.1.1. The posting-host-parameter
If a dot-atom is present, it MUST be a FQDN identifying the specific
host from which the injecting agent received the article.
Alternatively, an IP address (IPv4address or IPv6address) identifies
that host. If both forms are present, then they MUST identify the
same host, or at least have done so at the time the article was
injected.
NOTE: It is commonly the case that this parameter identifies a
dial-up point-of-presence, in which case a posting-account or
logging-data may need to be consulted to find the true origin of
the article.
