Before I gave up reporting these, I consistently got the brush-off
from the responsible ISP saying that the problem was that someone
has an email list feeding into comp.lang.ada. In general, spam
_software_ does not address newsgroups, so whoever is running that
email list is doing a lousy job of relaying _everything_ into the
newsgroup. By contrast, the email list feeding into comp.os.vms
is filtered (presumably with DNSbls) to keep out the spam.
