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 except by 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 an article is being reinjected (8.2.2), the
Complaints-To-header will always relate to the latest injection (to
the extent that this happens, the Complaints-To-header can be
regarded as a variant header).
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).
