A note from the moderator regarding the following newsgroups:

ba.announce
comp.newprod
comp.sys.sun.announce
news.admin.technical
rec.arts.sf.announce

Due to excessively high spam volumes from UUNET news servers, the Usenet de-
spammers have placed a Usenet Death Penalty (UDP) on UUNET.  All articles
originating at UUNET are being cancelled.  Since these groups are moderated
from UUNET and the articles are posted there, this means that until the UDP
is lifted, these groups are effectively defunct.

On a related note, the amount of spam in the newsgroup submissions has gotten
too high.  I am now receiving more spam than acceptable submissions on all
groups.  As a result, it now takes me much longer to find and approve the real
postings than it did even two months ago, and so the rate at which I move
submissions through has slowed down.

To complain to UUNET about their spam problem, contact 'abuse@uu.net'.

For general information about spam, see <URL:http://spam.abuse.net/spam/>.

For information on the Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-mail
(CAUCE), a group formed to outlaw spam, see <URL:http://www.cauce.org>.

Thanks for reading.
