Is there a way to filter....
Is there a way to filter Crossposting using (ahem) OE I don't Necessarily
want to block those NG directly. Oh yeah how about Wild Cards I seem to be doing something wrong It would help If I could Wildcard Block via some of the E-mail Address (I mean @Cumsuck is pretty obvious) -- Young Carpenter "Violin playing and Woodworking are similar, it takes plenty of money, plenty of practice, and you usually make way more noise than intended" {Put the fiddler back "on" the roof to reply} -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

As David has posted repeatedly, set up nfilter. It can filter for any
number of crosspostings. For example: * drop xref:*:*:*:*This filter will drop any posts with three or more newsgroups in the XRef line. It works with OE. Clint "Young Carpenter" wrote in message ...

Does nfilter work with Mozilla, another web browser and
and news and mail reader. Clint Neufeld wrote: As David has posted repeatedly, set up nfilter. It can filter for any number of crosspostings.

It SAYS it works with Netscape and Agent. Doesn't say anything about other
news apps, except to say it won't work with AOL. I would suspect (based on what I know of how it works, which may well be flawed) that it will work fine with any news application that does a standard NNTP download. It acts as a proxy news server between your app and your ISP's news server. Basically, you configure nfilter to look to your news server, and your news app to point to "localhost" (net-geek for "my machine"). Simple as that! Then stick in the nfilters that David has been sending out, and you're good to go. Clint "Bill Thomas" wrote in message ...

It does not work on my PC. I have configured according
the instructions in the postings of this newsgroup. The problem may relate to the use of a proxy server, which nfilter should not use and which I have to tell Mozilla to not use to access the news server. Does a way exist to determine if nfilter uses the proxy server? Does a way exist to tell it not to use the proxy server? Does this matter or should I look elsewhere for a solution?

Does this matter or should I look elsewhere for a solution? nfilter is a proxy server. Your news client should be configured to talk to nfilter rather than your nntp server. The host name for nfilter on your machine is localhost or 127.0.0.1. nfilter should then be configured to talk directly to your real nntp server. If you currently have Mozilla configured to talk directly to your news server, there should be no problems in using nfilter if you follow the configuration instructions on the nfilter site. -Doug |

FWIW, it works very well with OE ... just downloaded 170 messages, and not a
single crossposted message in the bunch.

Thanks guys
My filtering on OE has gotten so bad it has started filtering me! So this whole converstaion was moot until I found it. Any way I have installed Nfilter I hope it works -- Young Carpenter "Violin playing and Woodworking are similar, it takes plenty of money, plenty of practice, and you usually make way more noise than intended" {Put the fiddler back "on" the roof to reply} "Young Carpenter" wrote in message ...
