Hi Folks,

Here's my recent experience w/ jamnntpd.
Cloned from https://github.com/ftnapps/smapinntpd and built for Ubuntu 14.04.6.

First issue showed up was the message-id format for STAT/ARTICLE/HEAD/BODY,
RFC-3977 says

> A message-id MUST begin with "<", end with ">"  should be wrapped
> with square braces.

Jamnntpd (and smapinntpd) won't understand the message-id w/ square braces but
will be happy w/o. It breaks some NNTP readers which use message-id rather
than message number.

Second issue was w/ posting an article - it will break the JAM database!
* Jamnntpd will not be able to read back posted message (the message counter
remains the same).
* GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5 will show a new completely empty message w/o headers and
body
* Husky HPT 1.9 will core dump while dealing w/ that JAM file (which is
actually bad).

I've also tried smapinntpd from https://github.com/ftnapps/smapinntpd and 
posting to JAM worked for me.

Regards,
Nil
