it looks like someone ejaculated a bunch of old articles. Was it just
me getting these or everyone else?

Not really complaining, I'm happy to take old articles, but just
wondered if this was someone's config error.

I just receive this: <01cf36e8$Blat.v3.2.0$c03e52fa$3e7c904d9136@127.0.0.1>

And on the path: I see this

Path:
paganini.bofh.team!newsfeed.endofthelinebbs.com!news.corradoroberto.it!nnrp.usenet.blueworldhosting.com!!news.usenet.blueworldhosting.com!spool1.usenet.blueworldhosting.com!injection-bsd1!not-for-mail

It's the newsserver corradoroberto.it grepping history from
blueworldhosting (I think with pullnews), and inject to his newsserver,
without filtering in newsfeeds file, and resend him to all his peers
(you included)

Sincerely

The administrator of news.corradoroberto.it was using suck, pulling from my
server and those articles made their way back out through other peers of
news.corradoroberto.it who accepted the old articles. The injection-bsd1 node
is only in a handful of articles on my server, so it likely won't do you much
good to filter based on that.

News administrators should have a proper article cutoff set on the servers
which they peer with others. If only the administrator of
news.corradoroberto.it made the mistake originally it would not have leaked
beyond.

Yes, nothing found in innreport today!

Yes good advice but sometimes the newsmaster has to modify "artcutoff"
in inn.conf and forget changing it after...

Maybe reporting the value of "artcutoff" in log and INNReport
would be a nice thing.
