Subject: Gnus stripping subjects? (441 Required "Subject" header is missing)
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 11:40:07 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <q677k24f46g.fsf@panix.com> (raw)

Here's a weird problem that seems to be Gnus-related. I have a
secondary news server set up pointing at news.panix.com.¹ When I try
to post there through Gnus, the server reports:

,----
| 441 Required "Subject" header is missing 
| Couldn't send message via news: 441 Required "Subject" header is missing 
`----

Yet my Subject header is definitely there. Other messages are
arriving, so it seems that others are able to post. In fact, I tried
posting interactively over a raw telnet connection and it works fine.

I can post to my primary news server and through Gmane as a secondary
server, but not through Panix. Can anyone offer any clues as to what
Gnus may be doing differently with this server, and how I can go about
inspecting what's getting sent to the server?


Footnotes: 
¹ It's going through a SOCKSv5 gateway via the "connect" program:
  (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nntp "panix"
              (nntp-address "news.panix.com")
              (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-telnet-stream)
              (nntp-telnet-command "connect")
              (nntp-telnet-switches ("-s")))
