There was a thread some time ago on ways to kill postings with too many

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.

How are you doing that, Pete? I only see a Message-ID field in
filtering emails, not Usenet posts.
