Thread: Mail<->Usenet gateway back on ...
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 'k, I just made the following change to the Usenet -> Mail portion of the gateway which I believe (if I'm reading the man page properly) will result in no messages cross-posted from other hierarchies getting through: pgsql.advocacy,@alt.*,@comp.* Basically, what the above says (again, if I'm reading the man page properly) is that all posts to pgsql.advocacy (this is for the pgsql-advocacy, all others are configured the same), *except* those that have a cross-post to any newsgroup in the alt.* or comp.* hierarchies, will be forwarded ...

Uh ... why reject cross-posts to comp.*? At least comp.databases.*
should definitely be allowed. Also, the majority of the spam we saw
yesterday seemed to be cross-posted to rec.* --- personally I'd try
rejecting all the top-level hierarchies *except* comp.

'k, here are the ones that can't be cross-posted from:
@alt.*,@sci.*,@rec.*,@misc.*,@soc.*
and fixed a 'hole' I missed earlier that Devrim just pointed out ...

Yeah, I have ~800 moderation messages this morning, and some of them, cross-posted to a large number of PostgreSQL lists are from a scrappy@hub.org :-) Most others look like legitimate messages that have been harvested from someplace. Oh, and they all seem to have news.hub.org in the delivery path :-( Does the gateway have some sort of bowel problem? /D

Yeah, I did once I realised what was going on. Unfortunately it still took me quite some time to sift through all the garbage to make sure I didn't miss any real messages in the queue. /D
