Since spam filters are unable to distinguish these messages from good
ones, the only way to stop these floods is to close a group for posting
when it receives too many messages.
<snip>
Crosspost is an easy way to circumvent this strategy. On the one hand,
the crosspost allows the attacker to multiply the target groups of the
flood using the same number of messages because a single post will be
shown on several groups. On the other hand, crosspost allows the
attacker to multiply the number of messages he can post through my
server before a group is closed.

At this point, my priority is to protect usenet users from floods, the
crosspost ban is for that. I agree that the crosspost ban is not a good
thing but at the moment it is a necessary cost. It will be removed as
soon as possible.
