So far it looks to me like a peer can send anything it wants to my
node, and I have to filter everything to accept and store only the

of unwanted bandwidth down my pipe. Or am I missing something?
That’s correct.
IMO it’s a weakness in NNTP. Peers should be able to automatically
negotiate what is sent to them.
