If you post from googlegroups, aioe, or uar, please post a test

I'm good I hope.. :)



Yes.

Playing around with nfilter I discovered that "FLAG" is more appropriate than "DROP".

"DROP" leaves the unmarked messages on the server, "FLAG" adds text to the Subject line and downloads the headers where, ultimately, Agent will dispose of the flagged messages. Flagging makes it easy for me to track good guys/bad guys without much effort... good guys get added to the "whitelist"... all other googlegroups, aioe and uar posters go bye-bye ;-)

without much effort...

You're like a kid with a new toy. 8-) ...and I know you're thinking "How did I get along without this?"

Once you get this thing fattened up, I hope you'll consider Terrell's request to publish the list. news: snipped-for-privacy@corp.supernews.com

I'm probably the most obvious Google poster. I'd like admission.

Absolutely !-)

You were already added, as were many others, simply based on your normal posting.

Maybe it would be safe to post the filters, I don't know... these hackers seem to have only a life based on disruption... but I guess that's what you do when you're otherwise incompetent ;-)

I would worry about attracting spam to the addresses you post.

Although I suppose if they are used for usenet they will already be doing that...

Why not just sign up for a third-party news server? Googling the phrase without quotes gives "about 313,000 hits"; I haven't tried it with because I don't need to.

Hey! I just realized that I could put a news server on our LAN/ gateway/router/Samba server box. ;-)
