|
|
|
A sanction against sites that habitually spew Usenet spam. This can be
|
|
|
|
|
either passive or active. A passive UDP refers to the dropping of all
|
|
|
|
|
postings by a particular domain so as to inhibit propagation. An active UDP
|
|
|
|
|
refers to third-party cancellation of all postings by the UDPed domain. A
|
|
|
|
|
partial UDP is one which applies only to certain newsgroups or hierarchies
|
|
|
|
|
in Usenet. Compare Internet Death Penalty , with which this term is
|
|
|
|
|
sometimes confused.
