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.
