I've emailed the administrator of bbs.geek.nz, maybe he
will be able to stop it.
Thanks, Greg. We're actually blocking via that and related headers at
the gateway, which is why the mailing list is no longer seeing the
duplicates. I'm not sure any of us thought to email the news server
admin, though!
I did; the address is fake.
Worked for me. From the URL http://news.bbs.geek.nz/
*Welcome to Agency News - a Usenet News system located in Dunedin, New
Zealand.*

*Agency News is run as a not-for-profit hobby and offers free access to

*Contact - newsmaster {at} news.bbs.geek.nz <http://news.bbs.geek.nz> to

I just sent a note to that email address. No bounce yet.
He already replied; maybe it's not going through to the list because of
the blocking. Here is the post:
Apologies guys for the dupes being injected in to this newsgroup.
I run a message network using Fido Technical Networking standards and a
single node within fsxNet (bbs.geek.nz/fsxnet.zip) that was connected to the
gateway software had seemingly sent a bunch of looped messages though the
gateway. I have closed the node access off and removed some borked packets on
my side of the gateway.
Hopefully someone will see this reply and know I've acted as soon as I heard
from Greg. :)
If anyone spots anything further amiss you can reach me at avon [at] bbs
[dot] geek [dot] nz
Best, Paul
