Anybody know how to delete/filter spam on Google Groups? This NG seems

Check out "aioe.org", it's a free
service that I use and I never see
a lot of Spam. The site has instructions
on how to setup various newsreaders.

Thanks, Uncle. I had been to their Web site, but was baffled.
They say: "A set of visual configuration howtos
for the most common UNIX newsreaders are stored in this section."

The list does not include my newsreader/email client ???.

What do they mean by that? Is a newsreader the same as
one's email client? Mine is Forte Agent, which I have used for a long
time.

How can I configure Agent to read aioe.org?

I begin to fear this is beyond my tiny capabilities, if
I don't even understand the basic terms...g


I'm using Thunderbird but if you look at
the setup for the listed newsreaders, it
may give you a hint. The news server is
"nntp.aioe.org" and there has to be a
place in your configuration to insert
that information. The help section or
online FAQ about your reader or client
may show you the way.
