They do filter very effectively. None on Eternal September either. Filtering isn't normally that great but for a free service it's not bad. Tim |

Well worth it for the very effective filtering. Indeed. Even Teranews which is a one time fee of $5 for the text groups honours the third party cancels that hunt down such dross. I only ever see them if I happen to download news between the spammer sending them and the auto cancels catching up with the dross. If you are able to do it set your kill file to reject out of hand anything containing "Subject: =?windows-1256?" (without the quotes) essentially "is using arabic character set". -- Regards, Martin Brown |

Its driving my speech synth crazy! If you use news.individual.net as your news server, those are filtered at the server so you never see them. Its not free but costs peanuts, 10 euros a year. |

This topic reminded me of that irritating Crazy Frog ringtone that was inflicted by many on many more back in the 1990's,it's become an earworm. G.Harman |
