I use ipsets for blocking IPs but all my usenet peers are in their own
set which bypasses the blocks. It seems like BWH couldn't be bothered
to me know they changed their IP either. 

toot@newsfeed:/news/spool/innfeed# host usenet.blueworldhosting.com
usenet.blueworldhosting.com has address 76.235.89.209
toot@newsfeed:/news/spool/innfeed# ipset list |grep 76.235.89.209

Lucky for them I don't have 76.235.89.0/24 blocked so we're still
exchanging articles, but still, as a matter of courtesy, you need to
let your peers know if you change your config in some way that effects
them.
