Re: Removal of debian usenet gateway

  Just ask and the gateway will be gone. I did this because I thought this
  would be of benefit to the project. If you want to make Debian smaller and
  make it difficult for people to access information about the project then
  that is your problem.
 
  The gateway was set up after approval by Bruce.

 Is there a problem with them being gatewayed? I find them very useful

I believe the complaint is that news makes everyone's email address
published and thus everyone tends to get more spam.

I should be releasing a spam filter packages into experimental within the
next few days.  That should help some people.

How about mangling the From headers in the news postings?  Would be a lot
nicer, and of course, a lot less Spam for people.

That is, if that's what's causing the problems here.
