Model Forum / General / Models / April 2008Damn all those spammers
This NG is drowning in spam lately. As the spammers use different adresses all the time it's no use killfiling them. Anyone got any sugestions to get rid of this spam? I use XNews.

(like *googlegroups.com etc.) Try News Proxy. I posted about it a few weeks ago, and it's dropping a good 95% of the spam for me. Kills trolls too, even the nym shifting variety. You can set up combinations of filters to target posters very precisely. > This NG is drowning in spam lately. > As the spammers use different adresses all the time it's no use killfiling [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Steven As the vast majority of it originates from google groups you need to filter that out.. http://improve-usenet.org/filters_ex1.html It does mean you will also filter out the one legit poster from GG, but it's a small price to pay.

If that's the case his head has some company up his a.s.Now, whom shall replace him?Tom On advice hear I set up a block on my mail reader (Outlook Express) to block groups.google.com. Sure it will block a few innocents but it got rid of 90+% instantly. I then added a 'delete' rule to kill any message with 'watch' in the title. Just the odd one or two get through now. I'm sure most newsreaders have similar functions. Cheers, Nigel It works - google seems to be the source - block them - eventually the honest posters will go elsewhere and the spamers will quit - bye bye google. > On advice hear I set up a block on my mail reader (Outlook Express) to > block groups.google.com.

I use XNews. I've been using parts of the subject line, and it's helped a bit. "watch", for instance stops a lot of it. cd SignatureThe difference between immorality and immortality is "T".

Very few get through. WWW is another great one for a partial. Grandpa John >> >>> This NG is drowning in spam lately. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > post. Very few get through.
