This has been happening in many groups. They hit
rec.music.classical.recordings a few months back. The simplest temporary remedy is to prefix the subject line with "real post". |

About a month ago, I read in PC World magazine that the Stormworm has
been around for a long time and it has been getting much more active lately. Somewhere else I read that the MI5 Persecution spams are an automated bot and it changes servers (whatever) once each month.I am not a computer expert so I really don't know. cuhulin |

I never have paid attention to specific IP ranges spewing more spam / abuse than others. Not a bad idea I suppose. |
