[9fans] Spam on comp.os.plan9

[Sascha Wildner]

Hello everyone,

there have been several spam mails sent to 9fans in the last few
weeks.  How comes that these mails are not filtered out by the
moderators of comp.os.plan9 (Icarus Sparry & Tim Goodwin,
according to the charter) when the 9fans mails are gatewayed to
the newsgroup?

[Moderator's Note:  The 9fans email is injected straight into the
                    Newsgroup.  There is no attempt to moderate
                    this email.  Only articles posted to the
                    Newsgroup are moderated.

                    I expect the 9fans email could be "sanitised" by
                    processing it with software such as:

                    http://www.algebra.com/~ichudov/stump/

                    However this hasn't been investigated.]

A mail to plan9mod-request@bath.ac.uk has been unanswered for a
week now.

[Moderator's Note:  The relevant staff were on holiday.]

Regards,
Sascha
