See this post: (URL) note where FUT is set. Then see the two posts below it in the thread. One honors the FUT and one (by Dan, who I can't imagine would actually make a mistake) doesn't.

I believe the recent "distributed denial of service attack" was SWEN.

Due to a recent distributed denial of service attack, we have shut down NNTP service on port 119 to prevent further service interruptions. Alternate ports 1119, 8000, and 8080 are still available. --Todd (21 years ago, 26-Sep-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.announce) !!
