-   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).
