In a sense, JNOS is acting as per PBBS specs drafted by W0RLI and accepted
by TAPR. When a BBS receives a mail by user manually it's supposed to insert
it's own MID/BID. Unfortunately when during forwarding sessions if a BID is
missing it's also doing the same. The newer version of JNOS is supposed to
now reject any mails during forwarding that do not contain a BID as to avoid
the current situation.

Sadly as we've seen with other softwares, when a bug gets fixed not everyone
updates their code in harmony and older versions linger on the network causing
situations as we've been seeing. It's not that the sysop(s) are malicious I'm
sure they have other things in life they need to do and simply can't get 
around to updating. I actually helped supply the source code to Maiko for
JNOS to reject mail without bids. It seems to work as proven with AA6HF's
JNOS BBS.
