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).
