Apologies for that. I have tried to tighten up on gateway filtering to
reduce future likelihood. That said it's a bit like playing whack a mole.

Are you an admin? I don't know how you otherwise can prevent spam. Not
seeing much spam anyway.
And of these I come across I'm going to send the Liberator after. ORAC is
going to teach them. ;-)

well I run the fidonet <> usenet gateway... so there's some leavers I can
pull there... I agree, generally it's not been too bad in the past.

An admin of what? I'm an admin of the whole Big-8 (which includes this
group) and even we can't do much about spam.

Just pull the gateway. The Fidonet posters to here
have zero idea of how to write a message, and just
get off on interacting with everyone.
