 Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2008 4:51 pm Post subject: Seeking further education - can you help? |
 |
|
Hello - newbie here!
In the newsgroup - microsoft.public.test - there is a series of posts
entitled 'ClusterSentinelNNTPPostTest'
Here is one example:-
NNTP microsoft.public.test - Post356d491b-a569-419f-be55-d09302bfd084
Each message has a different series of numerals and letters
The poster (From) is always user@domain
There are literally hundreds of entries, with each post being one/two
minutes apart.
There may well be a simple explanation - I'm simply interested to learn if
anyone here knows *why* the test messages are being sent.
Perhaps there is somewhere more appropriate that I should enquire. If so,
I'd be grateful if you'd point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Dave |

There is only one answer.
It is a test news group and thus what is posted there are test posts and the content of
which can be ignored!

David,
Thank you for your advice. Do you know, I once posted messages in
the 'test' forum at Aumha and had my hand smacked really hard!
There is now this caveat imposed there:-
_______________________________________________________________________________
(Administrative Post for Clarification)
The Test Forum is for the stated purpose posted at it's main link.
That being.
Feel free to use this as a "test space" for learning to use the forum. Items
here will be automatically purged 3 days after their last post. PLEASE DON'T
POST QUESTIONS HERE (except, perhaps, about how to use the forum itself).
This Forum is not for questions or anything other then testing to see if a
system is capable of posting to the forums. Any other posts will be
considered misuse of the Test Forum.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Ref:- http://www.aumha.net/
To be specific, here:- http://www.aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=32284
I never did understand why the posting of *anything* in a test facility
should have upset someone. ;)
Any ideas?

Again -- This is a test group. The content is inconsequential and the poster is
irrelevant.

That's what I'm endeavouring to find out; well, maybe not simply computer
security, but Security in general.

My sincere apologies! I'll try to remember your particular requirements,

Someone is playing on the keyword, could be a three-year-old retarded
duck (or someone with equal intelligence), or it could be secret encoded
messages between terrorists (but if it were, the Secret Cabal would be
watching them and informing the SWAT team). Or anywhere in between.

Normally, you should be complaining to the Usenet Central
Administration in Chicago. However, as you are concerned about a
'microsoft.public.*' newsgroup, you should really be complaining
directly to abuse@microsoft.com. I'm sure they'll be happy to know
about these posts.

Thank you for your response 'Old guy' - FYI 'ibuprofin' is incorrectly
spelt - it is ibuprofen
Take some!
