Thanks a lot!
I see that the binary spam coming from vipernews.com is caught, that's 
great!
Incidentally, in your NoCeM notices, wouldn't it be useful to list all 
the newsgroups they are sent to?  Only the first one is currently 
written whereas they could for instance be written on subsequent lines 
starting with whitespace, or on the same line.  (I agree it would lead 
to more lengthy messages or lines.)


I think some newsgroups should be marked as allowing binaries or HTML.
<CAOLa=ZSo7ngBUxkfR+EEojhr4a-mM+3=f-P1H36hnhJukEqGVA@mail.gmail.com> in 
linux.kernel.git was caught in the Bot-misplaced_binary filter but looks 
like a valid article.

As for <XMJON.158253$t8cc.153345@fx06.iad> in alt.binaries.clip-art, 
which was only posted to that newsgroup, maybe it should be considered 
valid as posted in a newsgroup with a "binaries" component.

Thanks again for your work and involvement in fighting spam.
