These days I follow regularly seven newsgroups. Between them and my
email, more than half the spam that gets past my filters comes from
comp.os.msdos.djgpp. There are days when I see 7 or 8 spam messages and
no content messages here. I don't complain, though. I don't see why we
should expect you to spend the time to moderate this newsgroup.
Unfortunately, any attempt to report this through spamcop is futile,
since spamcop sees the lines
Errors-To: nobody AT delorie DOT com
X-Mailing-List: djgpp AT delorie DOT com
X-Unsubscribes-To: listserv AT delorie DOT com
Precedence: bulk
DJ-Gateway: from mailing list djgpp AT delorie DOT com
and decides that reporting to delorie.com is the right thing to do.
So I have a choice of taking my chances on reporting directly to the real
posting server (a dangerous course, it turns out) or nothing.
