Not sure if you caught the beginning of this: I suddenly started getting every post from the Netnews gateway bounced to me as "possible spam" (thus the subject line above). Denizens here reported the same behavior, said it was because the way LISTSERV works, once a subscriber is tagged a spammer, all its posts are suspect. Therefore, since Netnews is just a subscriber, the behavior I saw. Only solution anyone came up with was to set loopcheck=nospam, which seems to me to be throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Any other suggestions?
