3.2.13  Injection-Info

   The Injection-Info header provides information as to how an article
   entered the Netnews system and to assist in tracing its true origin.

   injection-info  =  "Injection-Info:" SP [CFWS] path-identity [CFWS]
            *( ";" inj-info-para ) CRLF

   inj-info-param  =  post-host-param /
            post-account-param /
            sender-param /
            logging-param

   post-host-param =  "posting-host=" host-value

   host-value      =  dot-atom / [ dot-atom ":" ]
            ( IPv4address / IPv6address ) ;  see [RFC 2373]

   post-acct-param =  "posting-account=" value

   sender-param    =  "sender=" sender-value

   sender-value    =  mailbox / "verified"

   logging-param   =  "logging-data=" value
   Although comments and folding of white space are permitted throughout
   the Injection-Info header, it is RECOMMENDED that folding is not used
   within any parameter (but only before or after the ";" separating
   those parameters), and that comments are only used following the last
   parameter.  It is also RECOMMENDED that such parameters as are
   present are included in the order in which they have been defined in
   the syntax above.

   This header is intended to replace various currently-used but
   undocumented headers such as "NNTP-Posting-Host" and "X-Trace".
   These headers are now deprecated.
