How do I block?

I simply don't know how to set up a spam filter on OE. I don't think OE will let you do that Jack, other than blocking individual senders. Having said that, Thunderbird only has spam filters for email and not for news ... I can only filter out specific things. I rely on the News server doing the spam filtering for me. With mail of course I get the best of both ... the server filters it and removes viruses, my firewall filters it and removes viruses, and Thunderbird filters it too. Reading that I sound paranoid! But I have not had an email virus get through and I get very little spam mail. -- Gianna Stefani www.buchan-meteo.org.uk |

Jack to remove them from the computer I have set up filter to "delete all messages of more than 100 words" this leaves most normal posts intact but the messages have to be downloaded first. If anyone knows how to overcome this downloading first prob let me know. Cheers David I've a funny feeling the bot will be changed to get around that once he/she know what we are doing! |

Jack Without a decent filter it's quite hard, as the sender is randomly changing subject etc... All you could do is block the senders because they seem to be repeating - unfortunately OE only lets you do that one at a time. I have set up the following kill rule in Turnpike which works well. I don't know how you do it in other news readers. /^NNTP-Posting-Host: 218.191.74.42/h The rule basically says kill anything ( the ^) that has the above NNTP line in the header (signified by the h at the end).
