I've reported this too. The headers looked fairly genuine, so it didn't
occur to me that the IP address was not in the home.ne.jp domain. It isn't
(as they report) - it belongs to zaq.ne.jp. They don't exactly have much in
English on their main web-site, but I guess a mail to abuse@zaq.ne.jp may
achieve something.

However, home.ne.jp are not exactly uninvolved. It looks very much as if
their news server was used to post these duplicates. It's either wide open
or they are providing services to zaq.ne.jp. Either way, they could look
into this, or at least pass the complaint on.

Typical "service desk" mentality.
