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.
