Pretty much. Actually the server, AIUI, is still at AOL. Mozilla hasn't yet found the personnel/time to set up their own server. They're not in a position to manage the exist server. > As a result, chaos reigns on > the newsgroups.

For what it's worth, these newsgroups are available through other servers as well, and other providers do filter spam and viruses. I use the free newsgroups service provided by http://news.individual.net/ , and I see maybe 1 or 2 spam/virus messages each week - the rest is filtered out. -- Michael _______________________________________________ Mozilla-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-security
