filtering the spam out of this r.a.i.?
It looks like rec.aviation.ifr is downing in a sea of "MI5 Persecution". Is there nothing that can be done to stem this tide? In the old days I would just killfile the person or a regexp against the title, but this is actually hard. Besides, I'm using Google to access usenet now. I've just never seen it as bad as this, and I've been using usenet since '93. -- dave j |

Copy and paste the spammer's message with full header into a complaint to
the spammer's ISP. Send it to . At next month's meeting of The Conspiracy I'll suggest that we replace the traking device we implanted in one of his teeth with bird flu and hemmorhoids. Scott |

The MI5 nonsense is a minor nuisance compared to the flooding of other newsgroups with totally artificially-generated positings of gibberish. A week or more ago, one of the NGs to which I subscribe was hit with 700+ garbage postings in one day. |

I've just never seen it as bad as this, and I've been using usenet since '93. I use Giganews which does a pretty good job of filtering the biggest problems. I also use Outlook Express and simply highlight the MI5 stuff and hit delete. Takes all of 3 seconds. Marco |

It will allow you to filter on crossposts, among other things. While I've seen numerous complaints about MI5 this week in several newsgroups, I've yet to see any of his postings. Do a google search on NewsProxy, also known as nfilter. The author no longer supports it but it still works. I'm using it with Outlook Express. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |
