That's right. They have been warned already and asked explicitly
to refrain from such nonsense.
Unfortunately I'm not aware of any access control feature in the
news system that would enable me to refuse messages with an invalid
address (at least as far as it can can be checked; and that's the
case for the whole .nl domain, for which mcvax is the entry point).
Or have I missed something?
