I forgot that rule for posting here (it's been a long time since I have used 
this newsgroup, given that my antispam systems are now working very 
effectively to block almost all of them, about 400 to 800 spams each day, 
and only a few not blocked; but this TeamAaronShara spamisthe most active 
one and it currently escapes from the blocking rules,andI don't know 
why,given that it has a static content and a very easily identifiable 
signature).

In fact I avoid newsgroups most of the time, as they are the *easiest* way 
for spammers to collect more active email addresses in their illegal 
databases (and they often know the various tricks used in newsgroups to 
"encypher" personnal email addresses like this in this message, using 
various string transformations, such as automatic removal of parenthesized 
comments in email addresses, transformation of "(at)" into "@", and so 
on...)

OK, thanks for noting that (in the past Cyveillance used other (hidden) 
report addresses, I did not know that it was changed to use imaphost.com).

Well Spamcop also always reports to a second address. I should have read 
more carefully the Spamcop processing messages.
