- The poster flooding the net with copies of the same message in every newsgroup
- is being dealt with. When I started seeing the messages, I sent mail to the
- News administrator at his site asking for something to be done about it, and I
- just got back this mail message (which I consider OK to post since it's a form
- letter that was sent out to anyone who wrote to the news administrator of the
- site about the problem):

- Network News User:
-
- Regarding the "junk mail" type of postings that have originated from
- news.iastate.edu from a user named "Babak Sehari" ...
-
- Mr. Sehari has apparently automated his posting process and is posting his
- article to a large selection of newsgroups (including ALL local and regional
- ones) from a variety of systems on our campus. This matter has been turned
- over to the ISU Computation Center administrator in charge of handling
- perceived abuse of computer or network facilities at Iowa State University.
-
- Please forgive the "form letter" format of this reply. I have received many
- email complaints as Usenet News admin on this matter (as has our local
- "postmaster" for this site).
