Does anyone have any ideas for anything we can do about this?

It looks like the posts are coming thru
nsnmpen2-gest.nuria.telefonica-data.net


Why do you say that?

Reading sci.crypt from nntp.charter.net using KNode, I see
"NNTP-Posting-Host: 141.red-213-98-178.staticip.rima-tde.net"
on the spurious postings. Isn't that the guilty party?

I see the same with Mozilla. I sent a complaint to their abuse email
(nemesys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) listed in whois yesterday afternoon regarding
that IP.

As of right now, I'm not getting any more spew. Anyone know when it
stopped?

Right after bedtime for the young punkster probably.
