[posted to austin.usenet.config and emailed to addresses in X-Complain-To:]
Advisory spam cancelations have been issued for excessively re-posted
messages in the austin.* hierarchy. These cancelations were issued
because the manner in which the postings were made is an abuse of
Austin-area Usenet resources. These cancelations were NOT issued
just because somebody didn't like or disagreed with the messages.
These cancelations are advisory. Each news site chooses whether
it will honor or reject them. Most choose to honor them. The
cancelations follow follow the usual "cancel.", "!cyberspam", and
"X-Canceled-By:" conventions. The austin.usenet.config newsgroup
would be the best place to discuss any concerns about them.
A Usenet Death Penalty (UDP) action has been instituted against
these postings. Any continuation of this abuse will be detected
automatically, and subsequent advisory net-abuse cancelations will
be issued by the monitoring software. This means that all news
servers that honor these cancels will discard all ongoing postings
of this type, until I am notified that the responsible parties will
stop abusing austin.*.
Immediately below is a list of the messages affected. A sample
message from this collection follows that. Please see
to view archived copies of these
messages or for more information on abuse cancels.
