Looks like this spammer is using Google groups to post spam to every
news group and google group he could.

spam on my newsserver.

No. Your server must be doing a good job of filtering it, but there's
been a major attack lately. Check out

to see what it looks like.

Wow, you're now the owner of a genuine italian Rolex and 5 inches of
extra manhood ;-)?
I haven't seen much spam lately, except from the OP. Maybe just lucky
with my newsfeed.

You are. Google groups (for my sins I no longer am allowed to use a
proper newsreader) has been nearly unusable for a few months now.

I don't see the spam either. I just kill articles with message-ids
matching `googlegroups.com'.
Maybe Google should do the same.

Do you pay for a news server or does your ISP provide that service? I
think
most in the UK don't.

Fwiw, Virgin definitely has one. However, since I move around a lot with
a laptop, I use giganews and can testify I haven't had the spam problem
to anywhere near the extent that people are mentioning - I kind of didn't
notice it.

same here. I'm on Comcast which uses Giganews behind the scenes.
There's been a recent spate of spam, but not bad so far.

Ditto. Or rather, they include access to GigaNews
[who *aren't* filtering the spam!].
