(...) The past couple days, my e-mail has been swamped with junk mail with huge attachments. I wonder if a similar virus situation is making NNTP attacks in addition to SMTP attacks? Frank (21 years ago, 22-Sep-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) There appears also to be a similar attack coming from another address in Wellsville, New York, the combination of which are still causing sporadic connection problems, although the system load is greatly reduced.
