Chris,

Please forward one or two to me. Mark Sapiro and I have been banging on the
SpamBayes instance which supports the Usenet gateway. I suppose it's
possible some change caused the problem you're seeing.

Not sure whether this is an issue for -owner or not; apologies if not.

I'm seeing a whole lot of reasonably-recent posts getting re-sent,
with "nospam" attached to the posters' names. And they're getting
re-sent multiple times. Sometimes the posts have encoding problems
(small amounts of mojibake).

What's going on? Is there something going haywire with the news/mail
gateway? Is there a rogue client re-posting a bunch of news? Somebody
testing something?
