I don't miss any messages, i.e. it isn't a general problem (which
obviously doesn't imply that there is no problem).

Do you get spam from FPC lists very often? I believe that the existing
controls block most if not all of it quite efficiently. On the other hand,
NNTP is not guaranteed to be free of spam, nor ensuring smooth
communication for everybody either (as an example, it may not be
accessible from corporate environments).
