Seems to be hard to do with Mozilla/Firefox/Seamonkey. Because he

You shouldn't have to be doing it, your ISP should be running cleanfeed
and have a news admin on staff who deals with this stuff. Call up Erols
and ask if Afterburner or Ereshkigal are still working there.

All that is left of Erols is really only the name. They were bought up
by RCN, and then StarPower (Pepco and RCN), and then spun off to become
RCN once again.

Erekose is probably still there. I have used his services on a number of
occasions.

However, I have seen no sign that RCN filters anything out of their news
feeds.


So, I have been forwarding everything he posts to abuse at his
newsgroup sender. He should be needing some new isp accounts
shortly.

He cycles through them on a regular basis. He loses accounts, then
just gets new ones. The solution is to have your news admin deal with
it on the server. If your news admin is running "cleanfeed" it should
deal with it automatically because it has a feature to pattern match
repeated posts to multiple groups.

I could easily do the same thing by running my news through my spambayes
proxy. But I don't really care enough to bother.

It would be so terribly useful if Mozilla/Firefox/Seamonkey would provide
the same message filter capabilities for news that it does for email.

I have asked them about it but they just get all testy and tell me to do
it myself.
