Spamming Aholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read these messages via the Google home page....What do you have to
do, or how can I mark them all read or deleted so I do not have to see
this crap? Luckily my piloting skills are better than my computer
skills.... They have bombed this group too much I say!!!!

You may be able to get some relief (but not perfect) by using
a newsreader and a news service provider:

I was very happy with the spam filtering that Supernews used
to do. Now that Supernews has been sold to Giganews, it
**SEEMS** to me that I'm seeing more spam than I used to.

I'm not willing to testify to the change in court and I
have no hard data to back it up.

Policies vary from one news service to the next, I believe,
about how vigorously they filter spam before delivering
the news. There is a server-side filter called Cleanfeed:

The author used to work for Supernews. I believe he
is now on sabbatical after the sale of Supernews to
Giganews.

Right there is your problem! Google should be your last choice for reading
Usenet posts.

I am also no computer wizzzzard, but I simply use my ISP's news service
(Worldnet has a good news service) with the Outlook Express program that my
computer came equipped with, and write my own filters. Blocking individual
posters is trivial, but some spammers use a different address with each post, so
you simply look for terms that few (if any) legitimate posts will have in the
subject line, and tell Outlook Express to hide those posts.

It is a fun mental exercise to stay one step ahead of the dirtbags and it
takes me a mere 20 seconds to add a filter term. For example, one of my oldest
filter terms is "Viagra", another that I added just today is "paypal accept".

You'll be forever playing catchup with that strategy.

You might consider a filter based on the first two or three fields of
the posters' IP addresses. That way the content can change, but you
still filter it.

Thanks everyone I'll start doing what was recommended.. For sport,
those of you that are filtered.....sign on through Google and you'll
see what started my mornings wrath.

How's that working for you Larry?

Like I say, I am no expert. How do you do that with OE?

First, I'm not an MSOE user, so I'm not able to assist you with the
specifics of configuring that news reader. I use Fofte Agent:
http://forteinc.com

You'll find that GoogleGroups provides the IP address of the GG user
who posted the offending article(s) in the 'NNTP-Posting-Host:'
header. Here's an example:

NNTP-Posting-Host: 218.65.123.140

I would examine the message headers of the spam from China being
injected into Usenet from GoogleGroups, and base my filter on the IP
address portion of that header field: 218.65.123.140

Perhaps someone who uses MSOE can assist you with the specifics.
