Ahh, I see. My BBS software (MBSE) takes care of the origin and stuff.
Everything that leaves my BBS is processed by MBSE first. This is largely to
ensure that it leaves here in the proper format. My code only deals with
replicating messages between the BBS and my web forums. My question was 
pointed
in that direction to make sure that the messages I was presenting on my web
forums meet the standards.

Thanks!

PS - I just installed webalizer for kicks today on my server. I had no idea
that I was getting 40 some odd unique sites per day. Guess the web forums are
more popular than I thought :)
