Without analysing further, it's safe to say it's supposedly filtering

Does this reflect the priority almost bordering on contempt they have
for the legacy groups? Or are the still supported system groups also
so badly filtered?


Put simply, those involved at MS simply don't give a damn about those
wishing to use nntp. Support's long since been flushed down the tubes. All
that MS now cares about is Bing Bong, Windows Dead and how many
boxes/licenses they can flog. End users no longer feature in their plans.

As for rule making, those involved know little about rule making and
expressions and when I last had dealings with them were simply filtering on
specific character strings which is why the spammers found it so easy to
return time and time again although I have to admit that MS do seem to have
managed to reduce spam nowadays to a trickle.
