Spam
I wish we could block messages that are crossposted to more than one
newsgroup. Sigh. -- Teresa in Colorado The Presser Foot Sewing Machine Sales, Service, Supplies, and More www.thepresserfoot.com -- |

I am not sure exactly how, but OE has options to create rules to filter out
specifics you create. How to make it work in this case is something I dont know. But I empathize.. Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Teresa in Colorado" wrote in message ink.net...

Go to Message, then down to Create Rule. Unfortunately, don't know how to
tell OE to filter crossed messages, but this is how I get rid of the porn spam. Debbi in SO CA "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ...

I know - I use this feature a whole lot!
It doesn't have a way to block messages that have been crossposted.

Maybe you can tell it to, for instance, reject messages where Newsgroups CONTAINS "rec.crafts.textiles.quilting" AND Newsgroups IS NOT "rec.crafts.textiles.quilting". You might miss the odd legitimate posting, though. I can't do this with Agent (only filters news on author or subject) but it does have a feature to let me filter out crossposts of messages I've already gotten in another group. JA |
