A ng my wife subscribes to has been inundated with messages containing
nothing but groups of letters which make no sense. This has been going
on for some time and some subscribers have reported 1,000's of posts of
a similar type. Although not all get through some ISP's seem to fare
better than others. I understand these messages are computer generated
and lots of them used forged ID purporting to come from regular posters 
on the group. With this in mind is it possible to set rules to kill this
prat, obviously the "from" is not an option and he intersperses these
posts within different threads. I understand that he was a regular
poster with an attitude and when flamed replied in this vein. He's been
kicked from previous ISP's but keeps moving. My wife has tried to ignore
this and made other arrangements however I now find I am in receipt of 7
e-mails addressed to postmaster@dtn.ntl.com from Turnpike_NNTP_Client@dt
n.ntl.com full of this crap with different message senders. I e-mailed
the relevant abuse@ but wondered if anyone has any advice on how best to
prevent being inundated with this crap.
