Seems so.. the headers now indicate this (although it's probably faked):

217.37.102.225 is a btopenworld IP address and I don't think it is faked.
Have sent a message for them to investigate.

Do try to keep up at the back, there :-)

Yes, we're being flood-bombed. A few servers are filtering it, however
(news.individual.net for one) so for a lot of us it's 'over'.

Still going strong on Easynews :) Just over 10,000 now. I hope whoever
it is has good legal representation!

I suspect that the worst that will happen to them is that the ISP they
are using and/or the news server they are posting through will terminate
their account. :(
