How to block spammers in newsgroups
I enjoy perusing various newsgroups. There is a great deal of spam
originating from the domain @gmail.com. How can I use OE6 to block all messages coming from @gmail.com? I set the filter as follows: 1. Checkmark: Where the From Line contains people 2. Checkmark: Delete it 3. Description: Where the From Line contains @gmail.com However, this does not work. The @gmail messages keep right on coming. What am I doing wrong? I cannot show the complete FROM address because there are thousands of spammers. The only thing they have in common is that they send their spam from -- Walter www.rationality.net -

While blocking on "googlegroups" in the Message-ID header will get rid of a LOT of spam along with some Gmail users, my perspective is that there is a lot of legitimate non-spamming Gmail users posting through newsreaders to NNTP servers. Unfortunately, Walter is using a newsreader that cannot test on the Message-ID header and he probably doesn't want to bother setting up NewsProxy to do the filtering for him.
