Default Any Ideas on Turning off the Spammer?

While I have not yet found a method of filtering out the sporge
articles, I have found some promising leads:

Each article is crossposted to the sci.crypt newsgroup.

The 'Path:' header field always contains:
news.isoc.lu!news.grnet.gr

The 'Subject:' header field always begins with a lower-case letter

Perhaps filters can be successfully written to exploit these
consistencies.


I killfiled sci.crypt, and it took care of it nicely. I've never read
that group, so I'm not likely to be missing any content.
