Folks,
I have just cleaned out about 4000 messages from VGER's queue which were related to that moronic bandwidth wastage spam from TICAL.NET's shell account machine (it seems).
Any new bogon coming from that particular machine with exact same characteristics is blocked, but nothing prevents changeing those parameters a bit, and another such will be seen...
As a result, nearly all messages with size exceeding about 20 kB are now in "freezer", and if in the set there is some real thing, that will hopefully be released once I go over that area.
Oh yes, I "froze" quite a few "stop spamming linux-kernel!" responses with the entire original message in them. Lets not be stupid ourselves folks!
