All the recent spam here seems to have been posted through aioe.org.


Aioe.org does nothing to stop spammers and nonsense posters. For that
reason, they are quite popular with spammers, etc. That is why I have
plocked all posts from aioe.


You'd do better to block all gmail posts - that's where the majority
originate.


When I blocked all gmail posts my spam counts dropped by about 85% or
more. Every once in a while I miss a useful post, but usually someone
will reply and quote the original post and I will see it.
