I suspect the people operating the mail<->newsgroup gateway would have to be talked into killing the newsgroup. Just killing the reflection will only create confusion.

Since we're back on the spam topic, I've just installed tmda (it's in the ports tree), as it looks like the first reasonable spam filtering system I've seen.
