OT: Another newsgroup NUT

If your newsreader supports filtering on the NNTP-Posting-Host: header, then drop anything showing 'interware.hu' in that header.

A more drastic method would be to drop anything with 'googlegroups.com' in the Message-ID: header. The vast majority of Usenet spam these days is coming through Google Groups accounts -- and Google doesn't care, and isn't willing to do one damn thing to stop it.

What really blows is when thees no author,you cant designate the kill file.Ahh,some people just have to f---- with everyone & think they're getting away with it.

If you are using Outlook or OE you can set rules to block these jerks. I only see the good guys.

not only that but the douche is also emulating OP names and manually posting these into the replies.

Unfortunately Outlook Express does not allow filtering on headers. There is only a very limited set of filters available :-(

Of course it does. Some headers, anyway, like From: -- it has to look at that, for the 'Block Sender' function to work. It also filters on the Subject: header.

But it doesn't filter on either of the ones you need here (NNTP-Posting-Host: or Message-ID:).

You could download a copy of NewsProxy (also known as Nfilter) and configure that -- it *will* filter on those headers, and it's compatible with Outlook Express.

Nice suggestion - Thanks.

Any idea if that will also work with Yproxy that I already use?

Probably not -- you'd be trying to use two proxies for the same service.

Good Job there. Thanks! The real me (Oppie)

ote:

look Express.

You can chain proxies. That's part of the design. I used to use an SSL proxy chained with yProxy before they added SSL. You just might have to get creative with the ports:

news reader 119119 Nfilter 118118 yProxy 119119 news server

If you know what I mean.
