How do I block?

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).

Doesn't help much when I have to download 40,000 bodies first, to get to that point! That information doesn't appear in the initial headers so you can't filter on it to stop the bodies coming in. What I'll do tomorrow if it starts again and my ISP doesn't stop it, is stay off the NG until say 5pm - after the idiot floodbomber's gone home from work, then download the 50K headers and bodies while I'm having dinner and doing other things. Then I'll Global Search for the various IPs the idiot posts from, delete all the messages in one go and have a peaceful evening free of him. A kill filter would do it but global search in Agent seems faster. -- Dave |

That information doesn't appear in the initial headers so you can't filter on it to stop the bodies coming in. If you are using OE, you don't have to download the bodies. I don't. I download headers only - see if it's something I want to read - if it is, I read it, if not, I delete it - without prior downloading. Cheers. |
