A bit off-topic but having read news.admin.net-abuse.misc for a while , unless demon does something about the spam mail coming from the public nerws server via the mail2news option soon, 951f the usenet community is threatening to put a UDP (Usenet Death Penalty) on the demon news ser Basically this will mean a near total block of news (and email?) from any demon site by most other servers until demon could assure that the problem wouldn't occour. The only way I can see this being done is removal of the mail2news option and removal of the public news server. Just thought it would interest people here. -- Send email replies to :pbaker@mettav.demon.co.uk (Paul Baker) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | The Tavern BBS Gateway 300-33600 V42Bis 44-(0)181-445-6514 24 Hrs | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It certainly means no postings from Demon users would go out via any of the ISPs participating, that's for sure :/ > The only way I can see this being done is removal of the mail2news option and > removal of the public news server. > > Just thought it would interest people here. Has anyone at Demon made a comment about this at all? ATB, Frank.

If you'd had seen all the posts in demon.service (amongst others) about a month ago they you'd know they were awful. Someone (still on Enterprise it would appear, c*nts) posted a load of email in someone elses name, return address as demon.service@mail2news.demon.co.uk and d.s was just full of people unwittingly posting the whole message again with witty one liners such as "Fuck off", "Fuck off", "Fuck Off" and sometimes "Fuck off you twat" etc, not good. > > The only way I can see this being done is removal of the mail2news option > and > > removal of the public news server. > > > > Just thought it would interest people here. > > Has anyone at Demon made a comment about this at all? Start taking demon.service, I'm pretty sure they won't get rid of the gateway totally, it's a pretty important service. I don't recall the specifics of any comments but it's pretty much that they block the sites that appear to be sending the crap and there's not much else they can do. -- To reply to this message there is no need to remove anything from my email address, clever that!
