     Unfortunately that is too much the case these days. I have also setup
JamNNTPd and decided that from the start I would engage a minimum amount
of security. Otherwise I wish it to be as open and available as possible.

     Sounds like you did set it up properly. There are always going to be
people looking for holes, loopholes, open ports, Etc. to do what they can.
If not done out of malice then sadly just out for fun.

    Are you a BBBS SysOp too. <g>  I wondered when I saw your registration
page. I got mine from my BBBS login menu.
