See: http://home.httrack.net/~nocem/

The way it works is a volunteer publishes a feed of articles he or his
software think qualify as spam.  And NSPs decide if they agree with
that person's categorization and methodology, and "subscribe" to his
feed.  Then the news server automatically cancels anything that feed
suggests is spam.  

What it doesn't do though is cancel replies to spam.  And if your
newsreader has already downloaded the spam then it's yours to keep,
unfortunately, so it doesn't make disappear any articles you download
before the software cancels them.

Speaking of spam, my apologies again for the 'glacier' posts elsewhere
here today.  I have a script I can pipe RSS articles into for posting;
it's an easy way to subscribe to interesting RSS feeds and then select
some articles to post into a newsgroup.  But I goofed up one variable
and so it kept posting an older article.  I'm embarrassed about it and
decided to give it a rest for the remainder of today while I continue
testing it.

Mod them down!  ha ha.
