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.
