More forged cancels
These were found in control. Note that they all have the string "CANCELLED", and all are timestamped 17:56. The first one is definitely forged. The others look like they probably are. I asked Jukka Santala, and he didn't issue that forgery. I asked Joel Rubin, and haven't gotten a response yet. I haven't asked the other people yet. So I'll go ahead and post this, crossposted to the affected groups. It looks like the Cancelschnauzer is hitting lots of groups. A note to the canceller: if you try to cancel this, I'll just put it back. -----------------begin control message Path: sundog.tiac.net!news.sprintlink.net!in2.uu.net!sunic!mn6.swip.net!seunet!news2..swip..net!plug..ne ws.pipex.net!pipex!tank.news.pipex.net!pipex!usenet.eel.ufl.edu!news.gmi..edu!msunews!netnew s.upenn.edu!ts7-28.upenn.edu!user From: 73323.603@compuserve.com Newsgroups: soc.culture.german,soc.culture.jewish Subject: cmsg cancel <73323.603-3009951517290001@ts7-28.upenn.edu> Date: Sun, 1 Oct 1995 17:56 GMT Organization: The National Alliance Message-ID: <cancel.73323.603-3009951517290001@ts7-28.upenn.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: ts7-28.upenn.edu Approved: 73323.603@compuserve.com Control: cancel <73323.603-3009951517290001@ts7-28.upenn.edu> X-Cancelled-By: 73323.603@compuserve.com Lines: 1 CANCELLED. ----end control message These others are suspicious, the Santala cancel is definitly forged.

CANCELLED.
----end control message
Does this mean that the cancel came from the Compuserve account? Forging cancel notices is definitely against CIS rules, as is unsolicited e-mail. I've already talked to a sysop there about it, and he said he'd pass it along to the CIS Security folks. If nothing else, that may get his account revoked. Hey, small victories. Michael R.
