Parameters of the search are: Path: indicates source was best.com 149 sample groups with "binaries", "sex", "picture" or "women" in the title, plus selected alt groups. Crossposted to 6 or more newsgroups. Posted since my last report. Notes: This is a new report, starting today. Erosnet, which has been hosted by best.com has now started spamming directly from there. Full headers mailed to abuse@best.com Full headers available on request. Only a small subset of usenet (149 groups) is sampled. Only articles that haven't been cancelled yet are counted. Actual spam may be much greater. Only crossposted articles are listed. Multi-posted articles (EMP) are ignored. I have not written anything to detect these, but they seem to be the minority of inappropriately-posted spam. Some posts may be forgeries intended to look like they came from Best. <52a40m$htk@nntp1.best.com> www.nylon-fetish.com free sales picture ! <52bg7o$5nk@nntp1.best.com> I like to be tied up by my girlfriend+++ - footd.jpg (1/2) <52bg8c$5nk@nntp1.best.com> I like to be tied up by my girlfriend+++ - footd.jpg (2/2) -- -ed falk, sun microsystems -- falk@sun.com If there's ever a nuclear holocaust, the only things left alive afterward will be cockroaches and spammers -- Dan Gillmor, Mercury News

Ed is scanning through newsgroups, to find crosspostings so a high number of newsgroups] If all the crossposted newsgroups are related eg: in this case alt.sex.*.* and the newsgroup charters don't prohibit commercial postings and the commercial posting is related to the topics of the newsgroups... then it might be classified as "spam", but it ain't "abuse". -- -------------------------------------------------- phil@bolthole.com "Ya see?
