7.5.  Duties of a Posting Agent

   A Posting Agent is used to assist the poster in creating a valid
   proto-article and forwarding it to an injecting agent.

   Postings agents SHOULD ensure that proto-articles they create are
   valid according to [USEFOR] and other applicable policies. In
   particular, they MUST NOT create any Injection-Date, Injection-Info
   or Complaints-To header.

   Contrary to [RFC 2822], which implies that the mailbox(es) in the
   From header should be that of the poster(s), a poster who does not,
   for whatever reason, wish to use his own mailbox MAY use any mailbox
   ending in the top level domain ".invalid" [RFC 2606].

   Posting agents meant for use by ordinary posters SHOULD reject any
   attempt to post an article which cancels or Supersedes another
   article of which the poster is not the author or sender.
