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).

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.

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.
