One of the users at my site noticed the off topic articles in the
capdist news groups (announcements for photo-oriented web sites) 
and brought it to my attention.

I've canceled the article locally - but was wondering if there was
anything more that I could or should do.

							thanks,

  If you can figure out the originating domain from the header just
send a polite nastygram (if that's not an oxymoron) to postmaster,
abuse, and admin @ that address.

  Incidentally I've been getting a fairly decent amount of e-mail spam
here on CapitalNet and was wondering how bad it is for other users.
If it's really bad we could ask the admins to filter out the offending
domains.

  Ironically one piece of spam I got was from someone promoting an
anti-spam e-mail service!!!  After complaining to their postmaster I
got a message back apologizing for the spam and, you guessed it--
promoting the service again!  

*sigh*
