Flooding

OK, I'll bite.
What was that all about?

Someone/something is reposting many old postings, but now with a new
From: line and with just "--multiplaza.nl.nu--" appended to each
posting.

The NNTP-Posting-Host:, Message-ID:, X-Complaints-To: and Path: all
point to xs4all.nl. Apparently someone is taking "xs4all" too literally! :-(
While I have (of course) not checked all articles, the
NNTP-Posting-Host: seems to be constant, 80.126.153.239, which is
eilandurk.xs4all.nl. The User-Agent: is some special one "newsSync
(Multiplaza) some number".

I have browsed a little in the news.admin.net-abuse.* groups, but have
not seen whether this has been reported, and if so, what, if anything
has been done about it. My news.wanadoo.nl 'feed' is clean, but my
news.individual.de (aka uni-berlin.de) has all this crap, so I do not
know whether these articles are being canceled or/and filtered.

Feel free to report these (to X-Complaints-To: ). In
the meantime, I'll keep checking the news.admin.net-abuse.* groups.

I reported this to and just now got a response from
them, saying "Thanks for this report. We've taken action agains that
host.", so let's hope that this flood has indeed stopped. (FYI, the
XS4ALL report number is #434539.)

Thanks for your expertise and help there Frank.

I'd suggest that anyone who posted yesterday and didn't get responses to
queries probably got lost in the flood, so post again.
