There was a thread some time ago on ways to kill postings with too many
cross-posts. Some of these methods involved regular expressions, most
likely counting commas in the newsgroups header. Can anyone provide a
pointer to the thread, or related threads?

You can set that in Agent 6.0 in folder properties. Today, I've been
using the Message-ID field for the new flock of bozos. When I see a
message id containing "theremailer" or "dont-email.me", it's a pretty
good bet for the bin.


Except that I cannot use Agent, because there is no Mac version.

I am using Thoth under MacOS, and Thoth follows Perl's version of regex.
