Before being shot by anyone, Jo the prevoious owner, advised me about who
are ISC.ORG, Paul Vixie et al ... Which only leaves  isgate ( a news -> mail
gateway) in Europe ...

So it does look like a standard "moron" attack rather than a troll one :-)

Anyhow I still would appreciate suggestions / ideas on methods to
differentiate ...
