Apparently news.individual.net can do something about it since, using
them, I haven't seen any spam in here.

You can divide people into two categories:
those who divide people into two categories and those who don't

Mail to the addresses given in the headers is no longer being
read. To mail me, substitute "clara.co.uk" for "freeuk.com".

I wouldn't like to say whether I would have seen the offending article
or not, as only today has our server begun carrying this group (with
posts). On the balance of probabilities though, I don't expect so, as I
don't see such stuff in other groups. Just the replies. (But that might
be because I kill multi-crossposts.)

It's been carrying it (without posts) since the Lord alone knows when.
