    Yes. I appear to have the same problem.
    Thousands of posts. They are pictures of videos
    sent in yEnc.
    Every couple of days I block the sender, and reload.
    That 'reduces' them. But then the sender changes his name.
    I just hope I'm not losing too many real posts.

    You could try changing newsgroup providers.

    I'm using Eternal September, and I haven't seen a single one of the

    Yup, but eternal september filter out all of whatever you're complaining
    about, but they filter out absolutely none of the spam in sci.crypt
    which makes up about 99.8% of the posts presently. (All of which come
    from googoogroups, I'd mention, it's almost as if google wants usenet to
    die.) So all the evidence points to this being binary filtering more than
    spam filtering.

    I think that it's the existence of the attached file that is causing
