Description Jonathan Kamens 2001-09-24 03:00:25 UTC
When I try to post an article through nnrpd in inn-2.3.2-5 with two "Cc"
headers, it says:

	441 Duplicate "Cc" header

and rejects the article.  While it's true that there are some Usenet
headers which can't be duplicated, "Cc" isn't one of them, especially since
it doesn't have any real significance in a Usenet article (it appears in my
article because I'm both posting and mailing the same message).  This is
therefore an inappropriate reason to reject an article.

Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2005-12-09 11:54:29 UTC
Here is an answer from INN upstream:

So I'll close it as WONTFIX, you're the only one who's complaining for it.
