Re: [usenet] UDP status?

I thought y'all might be interested in seeing that a UDP (Usenet Death
Penalty) has been applied to certain servers for not taking a pro-active
stance on the recent floods.
I stole this post from news.admin.net-abuse.policy. The message ID is
fgktbo$pqh$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in case you want to google it (advanced
groups search->message id) and see the rest of the thread.
There are a number of servers (individual.net, for example) that are
filtering or cancelling posts from these servers.

I wonder if we could get a summary of the UDP status:
highwinds-media (multiple sources through outsourced service): still
being used for floods, but apparently willing to solve the issue.
rr.com: still being used for floods, never replied to complaints (6
sent so far) ; upstream (newshosting) replied _once_ that something
should be done (..)
qwest.net: (last flood 22/08 ; 5,000 articles), never a single reply
to complaints (7 complaints sent)
cox.net (last flood 09/21 ; less than 1,000 articles): automatic
replies received
twtelecom.net (last flood 09/24 ; 6,000 articles): automatic replies
received
mchsi.com (last flood 11/01): multiple hijacked IP's ; automatic
replies received to complaints (but only automatic ones)
optonline (last flood 09/29 ; 1000 articles): multiple hijacked IP's ;
no replies to complaints
optusnet (last flood 0/30 ; 1000 articles): no replies to complaints
Other minor servers have also been used time to time for hipcrime
attacks, without any reply (t-online.hu,
suddenlink.net/newshosting.com, ..) and other minor origins.
Several sites are impacted by the UDP, but of course UDP are wothless
for the (numerous) servers refusing cancels. However many of them
(especially serious ones) have probably taken passive UDP measures
against biggest flood sources.
The lack of seriousness from many news servers is unfortunately a
fact..
Are they in the process of taking measures to prevent these floods?
Highwinds-media is the only one which seems to have started to take
measures.
If the site has taken steps to prevent these hipcrime floods should
they still be UDP'ed (if they are currently being UDP'ed)?
No idea. As soon as the filtering will be removed, I suppose that the
floods will start again.
