Description Robert J. Accettura 2004-04-13 14:20:41 UTC 
Spammers often hit newsgroups that are tied into mailing lists, so many get tons
of spam as a result, and much of passes right by.  I think it's possible to do
better.

I'm attaching a message with a few things that catch my eye right away:
DNSBL checks on:
X-Trace-PostClient-IP: 24.108.9.79
X-NNTP-Posting-Host: host-69-48-73-244.roc.choiceone.net
X-Original-Trace: 8802432846 ESS-p-144-138-5-133.mega.tmns.net.au 84106
host-69-48-73-244.roc.choiceone.net (13 Apr 2004 17:35:17 GMT)
NNTP-Posting-Host: 24.71.223.147

Other tests (not to sure on these):
Excessive "Newsgroups:"
Different Host domains for "Newsgroups"




I'm attaching the email these came from.  Look how low it scored, and look at
those headers.  I think it's pretty evident.
