OR What is the proper solution? Yes, the best solution would be for them to remove all mozilla.* groups from their server. You can refer them to the third paragraph under "General Information" at <http://www.mozilla.org/community/developer-forums.html>: The mozilla.* hierarchy is a local news hierarchy only available through news.mozilla.org and is not propagated to other Usenet servers. This is by design, in order to both help eliminate spam and provide slower lag time between posts and replies without having to wait for propagation. Please do not mirror our newsgroups elsewhere without providing a disclaimer that they should use news.mozilla.org to post. (We do share them with Google Groups to provide a web access method and archiving.)
