Re: yEnc-encoded articles in newsgroups

Thus spake Retro Guy <retroguy@novabbs.com>
 

Just asking, in case a current NoCeM issuer would be interested in
adding such filters.  (I'm not going to send NoCeM notices.)

That looks pretty easy to filter out, but I'm not seeing these on my
servers due to another "feature" of the articles. I'm happy to add
filtering for yenc as I don't serve binary groups on my servers, so
this would only check text newsgroups.

Same here. These articles never make it to the binary filter and if they
do, they get rejected by cleanfeed.local (with a somewhat more
sophisticated  yEnc filter). Should be doable over the holidays, will
probably use a seperate type like "binary" rather than "spam" or "bot".

I'll get on that in a few days, but I'll check here first in case
someone has reasons that I should not do so.

Let's go belt and suspenders. Better safe than sorry ;-)
