My understanding is that it is done primarily based on the newsserver 
that injects the spam into the network. If the owner of the newsserver 
doesn't respond to spam complaints, Supernews just stops accepting news 
that originates on that server (probably by inspecting the message ID). 
I know that Verizon worked that way, even though I thought Verizon 
complaining about spammers smacked a bit of hypocrisy.
