Internet Feeds

iggis.com receives connectivity from the following sites that I know of:

atx.net
sprintlink (supplier to atx)

These sites have been added to the reporting list for iggis.com to keep them aware of the problem, and to suggest that they terminate their netnews feed with iggis.com until such time that iggis.com adopts an anti-spam policy and regains control of their servers.

General notes:

Only a small subset of usenet (261 groups) was sampled. Only articles that hadn't been cancelled yet were counted. Actual spam may have been much greater.
Heuristics that detect single-posted articles are, by their very nature, somewhat shaky. Innocent articles may be tagged as spam because they share certain characteristics or keywords with actual spam. In particular, a posted spam complaint that includes the spam in its entirety will very often be identified as spam.
Some posts may be forgeries intended to look like they came from iggis.com.
The first entry in the history file is not used to compute peak or average spam counts, as this entry covers an unknown number of days. This may cause an apparent disreprency between spam totals and spam averages.
