 I have recently been receiving messages such as this:

leading five sites sending news with bad headers:
   2 mp.cs.niu.edu

 The funny thing is that the site listed is my own.  What exactly is
happening here?

 When I look through the log files, the timing of arrival of these messages
suggests they really originated somewhere else (They appear in the midst
of a stream of log messages from another site).  Is this just a bad
'Control: cancel', or is it something else.  Can the message be a little less
misleading?
