What is happening here. It seems that there is about a 100-fold increase in the spam messages appearing here compared to just a few months ago. Is there a way for the server(s) to filter out the span? Does it depend on your newsgroup provided? (I did switch to Giganews a few months ago. I was with earthlink before.).

Hi,

ordb.org stopped last week, a site that holded domainnames that sent a lot of spam.
That was announced in 2006 or something.

That is the reason I see see an increase in spam, less filtering.
Maybe you (or your provider) used ordb.org too?
If you used another spamfilteringsystem, I don't know.

Discard my posting.
After I read Lars response, I realised you were talking about newsgroups, as you clearly stated also. :P
That has nothing to do with ordb.org afaik.

Erwin goes find a coffee.
