Your open NNTP port is being used, yet again, for Usenet abuse. This
time someone is forging our email addresses to cancel FAQs. This is
the _same_ _person_ as the kikecancel/slanteyecancel/fagcancel/twatcancel
canceller.
Here are three samples. The Date: is a fake. If you add exactly 7 days
to it, you'll probably get the right date.
When is UUNET going to stop being the origin of more Usenet abuse than
any other site?
