That will work. All Yenc has to do is change his/her screen name, and post
more again.
There should be a person monitoring this public newsgroup at the server.
This person should be removing all these posts soon, that is, if he is doing
his job.
Tis the problem with Outlook Express: can't test on many headers. With
other newsreaders, you could test on the Message-ID field. In 40tude
Dialog, and using regex, for example:
Message-ID {<
[email protected]>}
That would hide, delete or whatever action you select, anything from
that NNTP server. Luckily I'm using Motzarella to read the microsoft.*
groups which has some filtering. Apparently Microsoft's filtering got
disabled or it sucks. I was playing around today with diffferent
servers (because I added Albasani) to see how fast each was. I polled
this group using Motzaralle, Albasani, and Microsoft NNTP server. I
only see the Yenc flood when using Microsoft's NNTP server.
You could report the flood to
http://www.smsusenet.nl/ by one of their
users. Don't know what language they used. Set Google Translate to
auto-detect on their Support page and got:
http://translate.google.com/transla...l/?page=support&sl=auto&tl=en&history_state0=
Doesn't look like they want anyone reporting abuse to them directly.
Their link to their forum(s) doesn't work (to read any sticky posts
about support/abuse contacts). Okay, that means I won't accept any
posts from them.
You could try sending an abuse report to the contact e-mail addresses
listed in their domain registration (
http://www.domain-registry.nl using
their WhoIs and then checking the Extended option to see the info):
Administrative contact: (e-mail address removed)
Technical contact: (e-mail address removed)
Good luck. Probably would have more impact if an MS rep who admins
their NNTP server contacted SMSusenet to tell them that they will block
all posts from SMSusenet until they fix their flood problems. I'm
sticking with Motz (or Alba) for now. Microsoft needs to fix their
flood filter (and possible restrict posts over 20K in size).
