Um, folks (Rich will do, if he can get mail THIS way), can
someONE explain what "jj" this is here we're talking about?
Needless to say, mail it. (do I need to say that in this
group?)

JJ-Who has no login at portal, (or cup, or whatever
cup.portal.com means) and wonders what other 'jj'
there is who does, or how JJ got into this at all.

Running the script (as news) generates complaints on some of the
articles about "news@ncc.Nexus.CA" not being the poster !?!

I've been running "expire -f JJ@cup.portal.com" instead.

As an aside, is anyone else thinking (like I am) of adding a "kill list"
feature to inews?

You must have a uid of either 0 or NEWSUSR and the distribution
specified must be either local or ORGDISTRIB.

We sent cancel messages out for all of JJ's postings.

Is there any way to prevent a re-occurance from this source? Stop net input
to my system from portal?

No, stop net output FROM Portal.

.No, stop net output FROM Portal.


No, stop net output from California, and how about N.J. (Webber).

The problem isn't Portal.  JJ is back posting again from a different
public access system.

I suggest all administrators of all PA systems take note of this character
and act appropriately.

Thanks, I needed that.  A good fraction of those articles haven't arrived
here yet, and this will prevent me from ever seeing them.  I'm very tired
of them by now.
