Any chance that turning off NNTP (except as presented by the web or mail
interfaces, but not accepting stuff from the outside world) would work?

It would mean that nntp users would be cut off completely, but is that • worse, or
better, than sporadic outages that affect everyone?

I have no idea if that actually would work or not.

suspect many others) participation in LUGNET - for me, it would virtually
eliminate it.
