there's no going back . . . once google falls off the usenet radar, other
notoriously-spammy servers will stick out like a sore thumb, particularly
those that appear to function as troll farm storefronts . . . if almighty
google is saving face, those less invincible may not afford such luxuries

My server it's not the source of this spam, and I can't be able to
monitor all group's. But we can ask one of the NoCem bot's owner Ray or
Retro Guy to do a mass-nocem notice to delete them (or with cancels).

F/U

I don't know what paganini is, but comp.terminals is one of the more
heavily-hit recipients of the current google spamflood. If your admin
is not filtering these out, you won't have long to wait. 19 days left.

Yes, but dumping traffic from them will be much less problematic than a
UDP on google.

The News server paganini.bofh.team that the O.P. is a user on.

You probably have a configuration problem with the application
of existing nocems. Otherwise you wouldn't have so much spam in
the groups mentioned.

Best regards.

I checked the Message-IDs of several spam on your server (paganini) and
they are already listed in NoCeM messages.

Is there maybe an issue applying the NoCeMs recently?

Why are they not talking to their news admin then instead of posting here?
I can certainly state that nocems are very effective at dealing with this
spam, and if their admins are not acceping them, they probably should be.

On the other hand, with only 19 days left, maybe they don't think it is
worth making any configuration changes at this point.

Seem's strange, I have added all bot's on my nocem rig. Tomorrow I will
check the log's.

I have no idea. Nevertheless, Ivo is participating in this thread.

Ivo's server configuration is not the problem or the issue.

The issue is the servers from which the spam originates.

We should not have to remedy the spam in the first place.

Why is anyone trying deflect and put the onus on Ivo?

Hi,

Citing the name of the server in the subject should be avoided
if you are looking to indicate the origin of the spam rather than
the fact that there is spam on this server.

as a layman this looks similar to how the massive amounts of spam that
originated from google groups appeared to be supported by servers that
were peering with google "peering!news-out.google.com!nntp.google.com!"

why do servers unfriendly to spammers peer with spam-friendly servers?

These servers are run by Google. They are being shut off in 18 days.

Because, after many years of crap from Google, a fix is in place. But
it will take time, and for another 18 days we are all going to have to
rely on filtering to keep Usenet readable.

It's not a "moot point", you illiterate, it's a non sequitur.

In reality in 14 days, I checked. 22nd of February, 2024.

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=palemoon&q=moot+point . . . "18 days" from today
is conspicuously five (5) days after google is expected to shut down their
usenet gateway . . . i'm only a retired hobbyist curious about everything

[immibis]

If, as is often cited, approximately 0 useful traffic comes from Google,
then what is problematic about a UDP on it?

[immibis]

Surely you must realize the server you are currently using is one of the
more spam-friendly ones, and asking this question is not in your best
interest.

[D]

as a continual subscriber to news:alt.privacy.anon-server since jan 1998,
i've seen plenty of discussions about anonymous remailers being used and
abused, but as for reliable statistics across all usenet newsgroups from
year to year since remailer usage became popular, that much is a mystery;
afaik google is uncontested as the number one worst spammer in the world,
but where troll farms are concerned, that seems universal to all servers

It's not 0. It's very low, but it's not 0. It's large enough in some
groups that there were worries about it. In technical groups it is
pretty much 0, though. But at this point it is academic.

I issued nocems from news.chmurka.net for these spams (and added senders
to filters, so they're automatically nocem-ed). The group is clean from it
on my side now.

[R Daneel Olivaw]

I don't use Retro Guy's server, but do use Eternal September. Ray on ES
deletes the garbage on comp.lang.cobol pretty much as fast as it
arrives. As far as I can see, no false positives, but no "false
negatives" either. Of course I don't know if he is detecting the crap
or if he is applying NoCeMs from elsewhere, whatever he's doing it is
effective.
No-one is suggesting that this garbage is entered via Paganini (it is
100% Google Groups), it is more that the pest control applied by other
sites is not making it to Paganini.
