This should be the last one you'll get to see of this nonsense on E-S.
Thanks for being a good neighbor, Ray.

Just don't do it the same way The Doctor did it, Ray. I was looking at
his solution in, I think, news.software.nntp, and if I understand
correctly, it rejects not only articles posted to Neodome, but also
those that just passed Neodome.

What makes you think I don't, Adam? Countless of times I've seen the

Pull the other one! Abuse of the net - in this case flooding - has
nothing to do with censorship, quite the contrary.
If you can't be bothered to - try to - prevent the abuse (of the net)
which originates from your server, then just come out and say so, but
don't spout this kind of nonsense to an audience which sees right
through it.

Thank you for your concern, but I'm aware of the pitfalls of Cleanfeed's >>bad_path configuration file and I know how to filter based on the
rightmost host name in the Path: header.
Not my solution. Someone gave it to me.

i.e. it rejects all articles that contain the excluded hostname *anywhere* in the Path: rather than rejecting just the articles that originate from that host (which is what you really want to do).
So?
Any system using neodome as their single outbound feed deserves what they get.
Most news systems have multiple outbound feeds and if the one fed into neodome gets dropped, it goes on its merry way to one of the others.
This means that if your server gets the posting that went through news.neodome.net offered first, it will reject it because of the ME
entry. If it the posting is offered again later via another route, it
will reject it because of the history entry.
