OT: Google Groups spam gone?

Funnily enough, I too have noticed that I can't see Terence's postings. I
use Windows live mail (the 64-bit progeny of Outlook Express) and I have
looked for killfile entries, without success.

....Does Terence post using GG?

Actually no posts from Terence seem to be visible on my computer
since about December 1 of last year. Maybe a killfile entry I
made then is interpreted by Outlook Express to wipe out his
messages. I looked at my killfile and I couldn't find any
reasonable candidates, though.

I noticed the same problem with Terence at least 2x.
I am using eternal-september and wouldn't know of any matching killfile
entries.

That is interesting. I have setup both both aioe and eternal-september,
and can see Terence's post via aioe, but not via eternal-september. No
filters of my own making in place.

Let's hope spring lasts 100 years for them, if they live that long.

The best I can tell, eternal-september has a number of killfile entries of their own. Applied for the whole server.

No, Terence DOES post, With Outlook Express Version 5.
And people read it Ok because quite a few write privately afterwards.

Interesting, FYI,
I post from Australia, and have found that of the 47 servers used by
Australia to communicate worldwide (Telstra monopoly service), at any given
time two or three are on some other country's blacklist. It takes a private
detection to get the Continental Postmaster to be informed and fix things
anew.

Same thing. I see the above post, and the one about Outlook Express,
appearing on aioe, but not eternal-september.

I only interact with this forum via groups.google.com. It was
convenient until about 2 years ago the spam overtook. The installation
of a newsreader failed several times and I stopped bothering about
that. Ploughing through the spam I always managed to get to the real
FORTRAN contributions, but it was "an art". I am glad to see that
since some days my regular interaction manner with this group via
groups.google.com shows less than 50% of spam (including this
one ;-) )! Hurray!

Same here.

However, I reported the issue to Eternal-september,and included the headers
from one of Terence's postings.

Here is the result:

Does ES have any "killfile" entries of your own? and is Terence suffering
from their application?


Hi,

ES uses Cleanfeed to filter spam and non-standard (HTML) posts.
The IP address contained in the above posting is currently contained in a
blacklist,
which means it was also used in one of the many spam runs that emanate from
Google
from time to time and target groups like comp.lang.fortran, among others.

I have checked Terence's postings and removed the above IP address from the
blacklist.

THANK YOU Qolin!!
Really don't know how these happen.
My source IP is not my house intranet, but assign randomly to one of the 47
Australian servers on a sesson basis.

Hey Terence,

Good to see you once again, at last!
