I originally posted this on <debian-www@l.d.o> but was asked to resubmit here. ----- Forwarded message from Bart Trojanowski <bart@jukie.net> ----- From: Bart Trojanowski <bart@jukie.net> Subject: Usenet usage in DMUP To: debian-www@lists.debian.org Message-ID: <20030712212828.GN8174@jukie.net> While studying up for a new maintainer's test I came across DMUP... http://www.debian.org/devel/dmup In Section 4 there is a section stating: " Debian does not have any Usenet news servers. It may be that some of the Debian machines have access to such a news server, but their use through Debian machines is strictly forbidden. " This conveys that Usenet is off limits from Debian hosts. Later in 'Examples of what we consider net abuse' it states: " Binary Postings to non-Binary Groups <snip> Excessive Cross-Posting <snip> Excessive Multi-Posting <snip> " But if Usenet posts are not allowed then why is this even stated? Maybe the wording of the later section should state that such posts should not be attributed with a @debian.org address. Cheers, Bart. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- WebSig: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/sig/
