- Stripping info from headers in newsgroup postings
- Posted by Webmaster on November 3rd, 2003
Evning all,
Wasn't quire sure where to post this...
I would like to stop certain bits of info appearing in the headers of my
newsgroup postings (IP, posting host etc).
Do I change newsreader (Gravity 2.5) or can I do it some other way?

An NNTP-Posting-Host header is typically added by your news server,
and there's nothing your newsreader can do to stop it. Good thing too.

I guess you have to change your news-server.

Most ISPs will now spot the missing line and add it. The IP will
be that of your newsserver, but unless you are in a large farm of
machines, that will be enough to identify you.

And find a server willing to peer with you. If you connect to your
ISP's server, it will almost certainly only accept POST rather than
IHAVE commands, so it will treat your article as a new posting and
add an NNTP-Posting-Host header regardless.

That header is for the benefit of search engines like Google, to
prevent them from returning the message in response to search
requests. I've heard that paying customers can get these articles
anyway, but I don't know whether that's true.

Some premium news servers hide your IP address and NNTP-Posting-Host.
