INN has a compile-time option of over-riding the "Organization" line of
any article posted from the server. This is widely used in Educational
and Business locations that want to put a disclaimer in the Organization
line, and in addition by several commercial ISPs to put a
"Use-Our-Service" or "our-phone-number-is" tag line in the displayed
header of every article that comes from their host.
The initial patches will insert an Organization header ONLY if one does
not already exist (and then only if the 'artOrganization' variable is
defined in the nntpcached.config file), but I would actually consider
adding code to replace a client-side 'Organization:' line with an
nntpcached configured one. (only for postings originating at this host,
for obvious reasons).
