It's a spammer. I've been reporting them (and another obnoxious spammer who's spammed me 6 separate times today so far) all afternoon. Did anybody come up with a means to lock the list down to subscribers-only posting without alienating the mail<->news gateway? Could the gateway have its own list posting address, while setting "Reply-To:" to be the news poster's address (not that many of them seem to be valid return addresses anyway)? On a related note, I finally updated my sendmail not to dump mail from those people whose from domains aren't real so I could see if there's good content coming from the newsgroup. I had been bouncing non-resolving names like someone@NOSPAMHAHAIM1337mydomain.com automatically, as I'm sure a number of other MTAs are set to do (this was the sendmail default and actually took some doing to reverse), since that tends to cut down on the most moronic batch of spammers.
