These articles still exist in the overview database, but not in the spool.

The overview database is cleaned up every morning at 04:00 a.m., the
articles are removed from the spool immediately.

As for killing accounts: This user did not have an account, as
the eternal-sptember.* hierarchy is open for posting for unregistered users.   

As a registered user, his account would have been automatically
suspended after using the fourth different nym.

I'm currently migrating the servers from Cleanfeed to Ivo Gandolfo's
Cleanfeed-NG and still need to make a few adjustments in the local
configuration before it can handle spam from unauthenticated users.
