- MUST be that of the actual injector of the article.

- An Approved-header is required in all postings to moderated
- newsgroups. If this header is not present in such postings, then
- serving agents MUST (and relaying agents MAY) reject the article.
- Please see section 8.2.2 for how injecting agents should treat
- postings to moderated groups that do not contain this header.
-
- An Approved-header is also required in certain control messages, to
- reduce the risks of accidental or unauthorized posting of same.
-
- NOTE: The presence of an Approved-header indicates that the
- person or entity identified claims to have the necessary
- authority to post the article in question, thus enabling sites
- that dispute that authority to refuse to accept or to act upon
- it. However, the mere presence of the header is insufficient to
- provide assurance that it indeed originated from that person or
- entity, and it is therefore desirable that it be included within
- some digital signature scheme (see 7.1), especially in the case
- of control messages (section 7).
