Newsreader with decent filtering?
Me.Here
or unsubscribe from the group so I need some suggestions of newsreader
software with good (non-score based) filtering rules. So far I've tried:
MS-OE
Thunderbird
XanaNews
MesNews
Opera
40tude Dialog
Microplanet Gravity
Mahogany
None seemed to have a decent enough filtering capability (ie. able to
filter on *anything* in the header).
I disregarded Nomad News, Xnews and Forte Version 1.21 as being too old
(no update in more than 4 years or so). I even thought to try nfilter
but it failed to download as a valid Win32 app.

Xananews can filter on header info. I will guess that Dialog and
Gravity can also. Although Xnews is old it is still highly configurable
if you can use score files.

They all can to some degree, but not to the extent I want. I want to be

Your mistake. Stupid assumption. Xnews is not updated because there is no
need to. Xnews has the best filtering of all newsreaders, but you
disregarded it because it is "too old." Live with the sporge.

Yeah thanks, but I tried that but it doesn't filter out the messages
unless I've missed another setting somewhere (like a view setting etc.).

Google nfilter, this news group. The version you downloaded might be the
one that has to be changed from .exe to .zip .
The filter criteria is a text file called "nfilter.dat" and is easily
changed with any notepad type program.
The drawback is that the filter criteria cannot be used on messages
already downloaded, but it's good for problems that stay the same.
I never have figured out how to use xnews.

Thanks. I've tried but it always seems to come up with the Win32 error.

nFilter is good for /some/ problems, but it may not be of any use with
the present annoyance. The program works on headers being downloaded
from the news server, and does nothing with headers already downloaded.

The downloads from http://www.nfilter.org/download.html are 1 byte short,
and so XP won't run them.
The real file size should be an _exact_ multiple of 512 bytes.
Try downloading from another mirror site, such as

To filter on non-overview headers, the news server needs to
support XHDR for the header in question.
You may need to change news servers.

Thanks Lost, I will. In truth, I like Thunderbird, it does everything I
need - bozo bin, subject highlighter (good for highlighting posts on
software I use) and is easy to use but unfortunately, it's sporge
killing ability is severely limited. Couple that with it's uncertain
future and it may be time for me to start looking for another freeware
alternative.

Thanks Rom but it would be overkill as I only visit two NG's, both of
which my ISP carries. My ISP supports the use of full headers so I am

Motzarella is an excellent free news server but unfortunately it will not

I use motzarella.org for downloading messages from this group, and
I've really only seen a trickle in recent weeks, perhaps a dozen or so
messages every couple of days. Further, what's left is pretty simple
to clean up. The sporger really isn't very good at competing with
experienced users. Many have posted about what a LUSER he/she/it is.
Now I *do* have other filters in place, and they may be cattching some
sporge, but they're pretty loose except for googlespam, because I
don't want to block legitimate messages from some domains (like
RoadRunner or Cox, for instance) but each of us has our own approach.

That's how Usenet works. News readers ask for headers, then they ask for
the whole article. BUT they don't get all the headers, they only get
some information. The NNTP RFCs probably clear this up. It's a long
time since I read them, but I think the information you get is based on
the commands your software issues and the settings of the server. (But
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.)

Old doesn't always mean bad. And Xnews has a "test" release which is
perfectly usable and is sometimes updated.
Xnews should do everything you want. At least, if I knew what you meant
by "non score based" filtering?

For some strange reason, he's looking for a newsreader that can filter, but
not using scoring like Xnews does. It's like throwing out the baby with the
bathwater - scoring is the best filter mechanism, but he doesn't want it.
All the people who insist on using Thunderbird, Agent, Xananews, etc. (non
scoring based newsreaders) are always the ones going on about the sporger
and how can they possibly block it.
I'm now convinced the OP is a troll, anyway. Probably one of Chris's
sockpuppets.
Me.Here
Score based readers aren't the only ones that can deal with sporge. Any
reader that can filter using regex's or keywords on NNTP headers will
work just as well.
FYI, instead of shooting your mouth off, you'd do well to check my
previous posts and my IP to see that I'm not Chris nor his sockpuppet.
As for being a troll, show me what posts I've made in this group that
would suggest such a grandiose statement? Given your initial reply to
my post, I'd be looking in the mirror before accusing anyone else of
"trolling".

Xnews can filter using regex's (PCRE) or keywords on NNTP headers.
I still don't understand why that's not score based filtering.

Me.Here
With non-scored based filtering, when the keyword or regex matches you
usually only have a couple of choices (pass or delete) whereas with
score based filtering, you have to assign each regex match a score and
then set things like thresholds for the different score groups etc. to
tell the client how to process it. While they do similar things,
non-score based filtering is much easier to set up and use. The
downside to non-score based filtering is that it isn't as flexible as
the score based method.
I finally managed to download nfilter so I'm using it now. It allows
for keyword, regex and score based methods, however, I only need and use
the keyword method which is filtering out the sporge quite nicely.

There are basically five ways to request information about an article.
XOVER will get a standard set of overviews, as supplied by the server.
XHDR will request a specific header. Some servers will provide all
headers this way, some will only provide overview headers.
HEAD will return all headers from the article.
BODY will return the body.
ARTICLE will return the HEAD, followed by a blank line, followed by the
full BODY of the article.
There is no practical reason a newsreader can't filter on any or all of
the above stages, design permitting.

If you only want to pass or delete, just use the scores -9999 and
9999. IMO, typing "drop" or "kill" isn't much easier than typing
"-9999".

Exactly and in todays spam/sporge ridden world, IMHO, *the* most
important factor in determining which email/newsreader I choose is its
ability to filter messages and most importantly, headers.

I did that. This is the only group you have ever posted to (using the

You're killfiled now (using old, outdated Xnews and it's marvelous

Well, I am not so much relieved, by using a newsreader with scoring.
I have no troubles to delete and purge sporge manually. It's the best
and most secure way, so you don't miss or delete a regular message.

Hummingbird, using the name "Chris" it's just a little joke we have
around here. It's nothing important.
Why not just ignore it? After all, it's makes no difference to you if
you're not actually called "Chris".
Hold on! Wait a minute! You ARE called Chris. Oh gosh! ....
You must have clean forgotten you used to wail, bleat, screech, cry,
yelp and squawk over what you called "being stalked". You even got so
upset you wanted to inform the international police and do all sorts of
similar amazing things to uphold your honor.
It seems the only problem you had was that Jon had found some public
information which you had posted about yourself, Chris Millbank.
I guess you must have forgotten all that ever happened. Silly old you!
Now if you're not Chris Millbank then why bother to "correct" anyone who
thinks you are Chris Millbank? Surely it wouldn't make any difference
at all to you if people got the name wrong because the name wouldn't be
a reference to you.
There's something about the logic of your statements which somehow just
doesn't ring true.
Anyway, until then maybe you can permit us to have our little joke about
"Chris". Or would that be too close to the truth for a recurrent
abusive, damaging and insulting sockpuppeteer who needs to hide their
true identity, just like you Chris?
Enjoy the rest of today.

Hummingbird, is this yet another example of your hypocrisy?
You have yelped like a bitch in heat at the fact that John Corliss is
not afraid to meet you in person. You have exaggerated his statement
and claimed it means John has made a direct threat of violence towards
you. You have yelped endlessly about the exaggeration.
And yet now you make make an outright statement of violent intentions
towards the same person.
I guess this is just more hypocrisy from you.

One of Chris Millbank's favorite Cardinal Rules of Usenet is apparently,
"Do unto others, but whine and complain when they do the same unto you".
Another of hummingbird's rules seems to be, "Deny the truth to the best of
your ability". He seldom breaks those two. Good on him.

Pfft, even Thunderbird and MSIE have a Bozo Bins, your point? Since I'm
kill-filed, this is more of a response to the group to let them know how
much of a tin foil hat wearer you are.
After reading iNcRdDuLoUs posts about Christopher Millbank (I'm assuming
that's the person you're referring to), let me point out - *I'M NOT EVEN
IN THE SAME COUNTRY AS HIM, YOU TWIT* so how could I be his sockpuppet.
If you'd bothered to check my NNTP-Posting-Host, you'd have realised
that. Go put your tin foil hat back on, it may clear your head, better
yet, keep me kill-filed then I won't have to waste my time responding to
your obviously deranged views.
As for the rest of your waffle, yes, you're correct - this is the only
group I post to using that nym (or versions of that nym). There's a
reason for that and it started way back when ACF first came up with the
idea of a pricelessware list and the infighting began with Andy Mabbett.
Since then, I come back every couple of years to see if things have
changed in ACF and if I've missed anything. As far as I can tell,
nothings changed except the names/nym of twits like yourself.

iNcReDuLoUs, I tend to think Humming-bleat does in fact understand

But somehow Humming-k00k feels he doesn't have to behave in the same

behavior provided he manages to get his way.
Humming-Chris seems to operate according to some very fixed anti-
social values because he seems quite unable to restrain his deviant

deceitful, consistently irresponsible, disrespects others, fails to

rationalization of why he is acting correctly.
If he does reply to this posting I suspect you'll see Humming-loser

the rest of the population are poor souls who are conditioned by the
norms of a nasty society whereas he is the true independent spirit of

No wonder there isn't a single newsgroup which has ever welcomed his

I checked many of the sporge postings and noticed they were cross-posted

Well, but as I have reminded. I saw posting by regulars in ACF, who
were never here since..., AFAIK.
Now this subscriber (from England, so much I dare to say openly)
would post to ACF. You'll miss any posting by him, and eventually in

I think the term regulars should mean people who post regularly over
a period of time, although I suspect that some of the cult gang have
a different definition which excludes people they dislike and
includes their cronies who are not actually regular posters.
>Now this subscriber (from England, so much I dare to say openly)

?
I use filters which operate on a variety of different headers and I
usually check my messagebase on ACF (12+ months) to whitelist good
guys who may have similar headers. In some cases I use boolean
filters to operate on several unique headers to catch posters like
Franklin who change their headers to bypass my filters.
Me.Here
Quite true (it catches genuine posters) but as I pointed out, nfilter
just tags the subject - it doesn't delete (drop) them. This is done
deliberately so they can be worked on further by T-birds inbuilt
filtering which will decide what's needed to be deleted. I guess I
could always build a whitelist of regular posters but as I said in a
previous post, I'm happy not to see every post from every poster.
That said, I updated the filter last night and added the following to
specifically drop any posts from the names below as well as any posts
cross posted to more than 3 groups so there's a possibility I will
delete genuine posts but it's small enough for me not to worry about:
* drop From:Abdel
* drop From:Abduljalil
* drop From:Abdullah
* drop From:Alhadin
* drop From:Feyd
* drop From:Hakeem
* drop From:Hakim
* drop From:Hamid
* drop From:Hussein
* drop From:Ibraheem
* drop From:Ibrahim
* drop From:Iman
* drop From:Imran
* drop From:Islam
* drop From:Khalid
* drop From:Mahammed
* drop From:Moammar
* drop From:Mohammad
* drop From:Mohammed
* drop From:Muhammad
* drop From:Moustapha
* drop From:Mustafa
* drop From:Mustapha
* drop From:Osama
* drop From:Rasheed
* drop From:Rashid
* drop From:Saad
* drop From:Shah
* drop From:Waleed
* drop xref:*:*:*:*
It's working like a charm :-)

If it works, that's fine. Although I would add that many of the
sporge I see use names other than those you've listed.
I reckon I've got my own filters down to a fine art now where
only the crap is dropped, and I do it using whitelists.
