Forward copies of ALL THE HEADERS to .

Aioe.org does nothing to stop spammers and nonsense posters. For that reason,
they are quite popular with spammers, etc. That is why I have plocked all
posts from aioe.

"Plocked"; I like it. Plonked + blocked.

You'd do better to block all gmail posts - that's where the majority
originate.

When I blocked all gmail posts my spam counts dropped by about 85% or
more. Every once in a while I miss a useful post, but usually someone
will reply and quote the original post and I will see it.

gmail isn't the problem, it's googlegroups. The fact that some
googlegroupers have gmail email accounts has nothing to do with it.
Filtering Message ID for "googlegroups" targets the spam much more
accurately.

They don't mind forging headers either...

However, in the case of the spam being discussed here, *neither*
blocking Google Groups nor gmail would have any effect, as this
particular asshole is posting through aioe.org and *not* using gmail
addresses.

You're telling us that aioe.org responded to your complaint and pulled
their plug? If so, mazeltov.

I responded too soon. All you did was killfile all aioe.org posts. Big deal.

I'm not one of those who advocates viewing Usenet through
killfile-colored glasses: the spam and other **** is still here. You're
just pretending it isn't.

Do as you wish Dave. Someone did forge my yahoo email address in a post
here just within the hour and I fired off a complaint. we'll see how that
goes...heh. I doubt if they will respond. As far as kill files go I think
they are useful. Pan scores -9999 but still shows the posts exist in the
Group Pane tab. You can select to match articles with a score of -9999
and disable the scoring for all entries. I usually do that until the spam
gets heavy muddying the waters.
