When people spam the newsgroup, forward the offending message to the
administrator of the spammer's service, the address will be
[email-masked].  For example, if you spammed a newsgroup, I
would forward the message to [email-masked].
This works, they often reply with a short note that they are dealing with
the person.

AND

at least this method doesn't re-expose +++ newsgroups to
posts replying to spam!
