Default Any Ideas on Turning off the Spammer?

they are from a bot, but since the address keeps switching, I don't
know how to block the messages in OE.


Everyone should do the following:

Send a complaint to the abuse reporting address provided by your Usenet
provider (in Kyle's case that is probably ) Also examine
the headers to see where the posts may be coming from. For example, I
noticed in the Google Groups archive that the headers of a couple of the
offending messages indicated the source was cox.net, and their abuse
reporting address is
. Consider sending a copy of the report
on to them.

Pick one or two samples and copy and paste _all_ the headers of the sample
offending messages to your abuse report.
