how the hell is the MTA to know what is genuine Email and what is not,
when they both posted from the same machine and its told to realy for
localhost, please, for the love of any god, THINK before you type, or perhaps

1/ GoogleGroups are UDP'd on my nntp server. If you use them, don't
waste your time or energy replying to me.
2/ If only cleanfeed filtered out trolls as well as spam, usenet would be
a nicer place.
