This data has been gathered by sol.net Network Services as part of an
ongoing project to monitor Usenet trends and abuse.
The data presented in this report is generated from data gathered by
the DSRS Posting Research Service. Access to this service is free
and is available to any individual or organization involved in the
fight against Usenet abuse, including spam cancellers, Kenny-killers,
ISP abuse desks, and Usenet administrators. It is not a free news-
reading service. Please visit the URL http://dsrs.nntp.sol.net for
more details.There are currently two items scanned:
1) "From:" header
2) "NNTP-Posting-Host:" header, if present
All articles sharing the same header (i.e. all articles with a
"From:" header of "ups@dsrs.nntp.sol.net") are counted together, with
a summary of the number of posts, bytes posted, and BI. Only
articles that have a BI of 20 or greater are summarized.
Please remember that BI is a general formula to measure the
number of groups posted to in a manner which favors crossposting.
The fact that the posts of a single poster may have a BI of 20
does not imply that the articles are spam, as each article may
have been completely different and unrelated.
The Al Geiersbach "Duh, I Still Don't Get It" Paragraph:
For the completely dense among us, who are unable to grasp the
obvious, that means that this isn't a "spam list". It also does
not mean that your posts are being cancelled, filtered, or anything
else... on the other hand, it doesn't mean that they're not. This
service merely counts 'em.
(A memorial to a dunce who just refused to "get it" even after it
was explained to him in excruciating detail, repeatedly, over the
period of about a year. It's still not a spam report, Al, even if
you desperately want to think so.)
