🚀 go-pugleaf

I recently received several alt-group newgroup requests from (yet another)
world-postable NNTP server.

I dropped a note to news@that.site including the post in question (we
no longer automatically create newsgroups - thanks, Chip!).  Perhaps it
is their policy, but in most cases I suspect they don't know better or
have their access-file misconfigured (they're also allowing world-read
of a commercial service).  They don't even generate the Nntp-Posting-Host:
header.

Is there anything else that can/should be done ?  Somehow, the idea of
posting server-names so that they get swamped with readers and forged
postings strikes me as the wrong answer...
