The "ADULTS ONLY" spam came through the netnews gateway to HP3000-L. It
was spammed to hundreds of newsgroups. Many of the articles were
canceled by the news.admin.net-abuse "anti-spam-bots" but unfortunately
too late to catch the article before it went through the gateway.
As stated some weeks ago, the netnews gateway has changed such that I
can no longer trap messages from there for moderation. So my best
advise is to delete and ignore it and hope this isn't the start of a
trend (this one was forged particularly well to avoid the usual
detection methods).
At any rate, the proper authorities at the originating sites have been
notified -- this was a *very* widespread spam (DejaNews reports 6345
articles simply "following up" on the original posts which were
cancelled).
