Yep confirming I found the issue lay with the sysop of a BBS that connects 
to the gateway linked to news.bbs.nz

I have delinked him while he addresses the issue (which he has found) and 
we will leave him delinked for a few more days to be sure.

If anyone spots anything amiss that looks like it's coming in from 
news.bbs.nz please feel free to contact me again and I'll get right on to 
it.

Apologies for the hassles.

Best, Paul
