I see the idiots are trying to run the asylum again !! Regards, Fishnut. >I see the idiots are trying to run the asylum again !! > > Regards, Fishnut. My trusty killfile is smoking. I'll take that minor inconvenience over a moderator anyday. As long as we all ignore it we'll be just fine. Jim  SignatureIf it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be? > My trusty killfile is smoking. Really?

How do you setup your killfile when all these messages are sent from unique e-mail adresses? >>>> My trusty killfile is smoking. >>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > How do you setup your killfile when all these > messages are sent from unique e-mail adresses? you can't but it get rid of the post SignatureJim A drunk mans' words are a sober mans' thoughts >>>>> My trusty killfile is smoking. >>>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > you can't but it get rid of the post huh? How can it get rid of the post? Based on WHAT? Computer program works on RULES. What is the rule? In the other post you stated you had to remove the spam manually - so why can you say it get rid of anything? >>>>>> My trusty killfile is smoking. >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > In the other post you stated you had to remove the > spam manually - so why can you say it get rid of anything? You are all doomed forever. hahahahahaha All I did was group all his posts together. Deleted everyone in the blink of an eye. There is always a way. teehee. Who cares if he posts if you can delete them all at once? BFD haha. Go ahead and rack your brains. You'll figure it out. Thanks for all the help! You guys are funny!!! Peace. Jim T > The spammer changes e-mail addres in every post. He's not changing addresses. This is a robot similar to those used to get around spam blockers. The 'bot pulls random slices of text from various sources and uses the original owners' email addresses as his own. The key signature of this sort of 'bot is the fact that the subject lines are nonsense. The 'bot generates random strings of words for the subject line.

Just d/l Spambrave. Has anyone used it? I have to delete all the current spam and train Spambrave to only accept good posts. We'll see if it works. This guy is persistant. Should be able to tell in a couple of days. Jim > He's not changing addresses. Three last spam posts where signed with three different e-mail addresses: "Elmo" <hungrily@ROOF.NET.TR>, <david@deep.ia.us>, "Abdul Al Sistani" <privately@league.com.hk> > This is a robot similar to those used to get around > spam blockers.

And which newsreader has advanced killfile recognizing "nonsense in the subject line"? >> He's not changing addresses. > > Three last spam posts where signed with three different e-mail addresses: > "Elmo" <hungrily@ROOF.NET.TR>, <david@deep.ia.us>, "Abdul Al Sistani" > <privately@league.com.hk> Yes, but the program is doing that. There's no need for the "poster" do actually do anything. You're correct that each massage has a different return address, but "he" isn't actually changing the address with each post. It's an automated process. > And which newsreader has advanced killfile recognizing "nonsense in the > subject line"? None that I know of. That's the entire point of the program. The original purpose of the 'bot was to slip emails with spyware past readers' filters. If you get curious about one of the mails and open it up, the spyware gets activated. Usually the message gets sent by mail to several thousand people. The return address gets changed each time it's sent. What this guy has done is to generate multiple messages and have them sent here. I've read that corporations have blocking programs that can stop this sort of thing, but I don't know that to be true, much less know how it works. I do know that some people have mail systems that simply block anything from strange email addresses, but I don't know of any newsreader that has that feature.

What difference does it make from my point of view? >>>> He's not changing addresses. >>> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > What difference does it make from my point of view? On most of these posts the poster opted for them to be removed after a very short time scale. I basically, unsubcribed, and then resubsribed to the group - the trash was gone :-)....I had to re-read the interesting stuff though but that wasn't too much of a trauma - lol Gill >I see the idiots are trying to run the asylum again !! > > Regards, Fishnut. One good thing about Spambrave, right-off-the-bat. is it lets you group all of our friends post and id them as spam. Takes them all right off. The ver. I d/l is the lite. The full version will report them as spam abuse too. I like it already. Jim > One good thing about Spambrave, right-off-the-bat. is it lets you group all > of our friends post and id them as spam.

Spam abuse is useless in war against regular anoying spam when spam is not containing any offensive/illegal words. Waste of time. With thunderbird, I created a clean list that highlights with the tag code, those that are normal members on this newsgroup, so that the trash posts are easily ignored.

I use http://motzarella.org (free) and http://teranews.com (free after one time payment).
