EMP cancelled in 263 groups. 79 more of these were cancelled yesterday.
This is clearly progressing through all of the Usenet groups. A
UDP for the "From" and "Subject" has been enabled.
EMP stands for Excessive Multiple Postings. It means the same as the
term "spam" usually does, but is more accurate and self-explanatory.
The heuristics for this cancel are based _only_ on the article
being multiply posted (instead of cross-posted) to greater than
25 groups, with identical content. The actual content was
not considered in the decision to cancel.
The "cancel." and cyberspam conventions have been followed.
One copy of the article is appended to the end of this posting.
