How do you get Agent to filter out crossposts? I am using the latest
version of Agent.


G'day Eric

Go to Tools
scroll down to Usenet filter

enter expression in box

{ +\,. }

select kill

make sure rec.crafts.metalworking is in folder box

this will kill one crossposted newsgroup. To kill multiple
crossposts, make more filters.

enter expression in box

{ +\,. +\,. } will kill 2 crossposts

{ +\,. +\,. +\,. } will kill 3 crossposts and so on

You must put a space after the first curly bracket and between each
expression and before the last curly bracket.

If you would like to email direct, change the OZ in my address to au

Alan



There's an easier way, at least in recent versions of Agent. Go to
Folder Properties-Receiving Messages-Usenet Crossposting and there
are a bunch of fill in the blank options for dealing with xposting.
