Google Groups users posting to Usenet via Google may want to know
that all GG posts are presently (hopefully temporarily) blocked at
Eternal-September while filters against GG spam floods are fettled.
Several other News services are also heavily filtering GG posts.

To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer and the BOFH.

"Hi, just an update on the current situation regarding GoogleGroups
spam:
As of this evening (UTC) Google Groups is completely blocked on E-S,
as the filtering has adversely affected normal operation of the server
(time outs for clients). In order to have more time for a redesign of
the filter and NoCeM generator while assuring normal operation for
E-S users, ALL incoming posts originating from GoogleGroups are
blocked.
I expect to have a solution within 24 hours and then resume filtering
and NoCeM generation. E-S's hardware resources are sufficient for such
tasks, it's just the way Cleanfeed/SpamAssassin interact with the
newsserver that cause a bottleneck."

I'd use E-S all the time if it was more reliable.

GG blocked on ES, it's barred at Rusty Towers, much to the irritation of
Thimmgamejig in Texas.
