Spamcancel policy


Currently I only cancel on two criteria: EMP with SBI > 10, which is standard for the nl.* hierarchy and ECP with HI > 30 (this page). I only issue cancels for articles posted or crossposted to the nl.* hierarchy.

The HI is calculated as follows:

N   = Number of newsgroups an article is crossposted to
F   = number of newsgroups in the followup-to header
HI = N + (F * F)

When the HI exceeds 30 the messages are cancelable.

Spamreports are posted to the newsgroup nl.internet.misbruik.rapport.

When responding to a specific cancel, please always refer to my internal cancel-id (preferably put it in the subject of the mail). This makes processing easier.

When you're a newsadmin and you wish not to receive cancels from me, you may filter on the `hensemabot' pseudosite. All cancels issued by me will have this pseudosite in the Path-header.

You can reach me at cancelbot@hensema.net. For non-cancel related issues use erik@hensema.net.
