Please check the "Reply-to" line in the header of newsgroup messages

composition window.
The message you replied to had the reply-to set to
news.admin.net-abuse.email. Why? That is the latest tactic of an
internet vandal who calls himself Hip Crime. For a long time he has
been waging a denial of service attack against that newsgroup. Lately,
he posts thousands of inflammatory messages all over the newsgroups,
with the reply-to set to his despised newsgroup. All the irate
responses go there.
