Okay, so far you appear to have used the following free servers (probably
others I haven't noticed):

http://news.motzarella.org/
http://www.albasani.net/index.html.en
http://www.aioe.org/

Why not stick with one until you get bounced from it so you can move on to
the next?

I knew it was MX, good catch, Jim, thanks

Fake post, Dan. Not me.

is!). At the moment all the forged posts _seem_ to have
"albasani.net" in the "Path" header and can be identified that way,
though of course the perp may switch to an alternate provider.

If you see an unexpectedly anal post from someone, check the headers
of the post in question and try to compare it to much older
(presumably less anal) posts from that same person.

YAWN.

Snort.

Forged messages are a violation of many anonymous news gateways.

http://www.albasani.net/info/terms_of_use.html.en
Addresses specified in From:, Reply-To: and Sender: must be valid
and at the user's disposal. The top level domain (TLD) invalid may
be used for the From: address, e.g. lid. See
also RFC2606: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2606.html

Haven't seen them. Are they coming from Google Groups? I have filtered
those guys out because of all the spam.
