There are three types of Usenet Death Penalty: #''Active'': with an active UDP, messages that fall under the UDP will be automatically cancelled by third parties or their agents. #''Passive'': with a passive UDP, messages that fall under the UDP will simply be ignored and will not spread. #''Partial'': a partial UDP applies only to a certain subset of Newsgroup s, not the entire Usenet newsgroup hierarchy.
