What about allowing further tokens after the address to allow the ISP to
include the relevant data right there ? So the following example:
> Injector-Info: isp.net; posting-host=modem-15.pop.isp.net;
> posting-date="965243133: Wed 2 Aug 2000 20:05:33 -0100 (BST)";
> serial="news2.isp.net:2427"; complaints-to="abuse@isp.net"
would become:
Injector-Info: isp.net; posting-host="modem-15.pop.isp.net myuser";
posting-date="965243133: Wed 2 Aug 2000 20:05:33 -0100 (BST)";
serial="news2.isp.net:2427"; complaints-to="abuse@isp.net"
to show that it was account "myuser", or:
Injector-Info: isp.net; posting-host="modem-15.pop.isp.net 23401273";
posting-date="965243133: Wed 2 Aug 2000 20:05:33 -0100 (BST)";
serial="news2.isp.net:2427"; complaints-to="abuse@isp.net"
to give a Radius log entry number.
