Better to add a filter or two. Eliminating Google Groupers will stop
90% of the spam, killfiling crossposts with get rid of most of the
rest.

I don't use OE so I don't know, I don't think it can be done?

I'd suggest getting a better newsreader, one that allows scoring as
well as killfiling. Several will do that,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorefile

I use Xnews and it allows selecting the number of crossposts you'll
allow in the setup menu.
