6.19.1.1. The posting-host-parameter
If a dot-atom is present, it MUST be a FQDN identifying the specific
host from which the injecting agent received the article.
Alternatively, an IP address (dotted-quad or ipv6-numeric) identifies
that host. If both forms are present, then they MUST identify the
same host, or at least have done so at the time the article was
injected.
NOTE: It is commonly the case that this header identifies a
dial-up point-of-presence, in which case a posting-account or
logging-data may need to be consulted to find the true origin of
the article.
