Google Groups is getting de-peered by NNTP servers left and right. I
just blocked them earlier this week. If you're running inn with
cleanfeed, just block them altogether. Some legitimate articles will
certainly get whacked, but people are ditching Google Groups for Usenet
access in droves so that's a shrinking problem.

control of the firewall and a front-end smtp server with diversion and analysis. I was
going to apply it to an incoming newsfeed and get it learning even more.

Understand that all of that flood of crap (nearly 15,000 spam posts a day to c.o.v.) is
coming through to other news providers, so your own server won't save you without
adding filtering.
Sadly, Tin doesn't have a way to filter on injector. Sigh.
