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. The content syntax makes use of
syntax defined in [RFC 2822].
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).
