Invalid syntax encountered in Subject: header field body (unexpected

[writing as a user]

I have seen similar messages when posting on E-S. In my case it
occurs when I followup to articles posted by someone who is using
a home-made posting agent which is not standards-compliant and
somehow breaks the References.

I'm sure you do, Adam.

There are examples of his work in alt.free.newsservers;
you can't miss them.

Couldn't you update to INN 2.6.4?
Russ improved that log line in this version, so that the culprit header
is mentioned in the log.

This log basically means an header field contains control characters or
only contains whitespace characters.
Per RFC 5537 Section 3.5, an injecting agent (like nnrpd) MUST reject
any proto-article that is not syntactically valid as defined by RFC
5536. This check was added in INN 2.6.1.
