Usenet Death Penalty

   [Usenet] 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.
