As far as I can tell, they do not.  They only "add filters".  Lately,
the situation there has gotten completely out of hand.  We now have
Jerry Nardini and Noel Westerlind (as well as dozens of other spammers)
campped out there.  'Course, what would you expect from a site owned
by Jerry "Spamzilla" Reynolds?

Here are the upstream sites that I could find:

   cyclone.bc.net
   east1.newsfeed.sprint-canada.net
   ihug.co.nz
   news-out.visi.com
   news.interpacket.net
   news.usenetserver.com (also needs a de-peering)
   newsfeed.enteract.com
   newsfeed.icl.net
   newsfeed.wirehub.nl
   newsout.pdxfiber.net

It's high time we remove newsfeeds.com from Usenet.  They are most
definatly rogue.
