I'm seeing a huge number of spam postings in this group. I'm sure they are
from a bot, but since the address keeps switching, I don't know how to block
the messages in OE.

Suggestions?


I don't understand what the purpose of the spammer is. How does he
profit by this?

It is possible they want to push you into using news servers that
filter their attacks. Supernews, for example, might be behind this
attack. Either they, or someone claiming to be them, urged switching to
Supernews before the attack.

There are people who paint the "Mona Lisa." There are people who paint
mustaches on the "Mona Lisa." Sporgers are the latter.
