There are some spam posts on the list today. Different news feeds
filter with varying amounts of effectiveness...I can see nine spam
posts, but apparently DADGAD is getting more.

Supernews filters out a lot of the bullshit (although some of the right
wingnut stuff gets through). I do wonder though how much good stuff
gets filtered.

I have two news providers, one of which is Supernews. I see lots of
crap on the other one, but I've never seen a post I wanted to read
there that had been killed by SuperNews.

I've noticed posts with gmail addresses are also quite often spammy. The
problem exists because of Google, they need to do something about it.

You are talking about yourself. Most newsgroups, like this one, are
unmoderated. Some ISPs attempt to do some filtering, but generally, it is
up to the user. Learn how to use kill files or just ignore the obvious SPAM.
No one forces you to read it.

Maybe it's time for people to discuss NewsProxy again. It sure cleaned up my
newsgroups. While Outlook Express was capable of filtering spam based on a lot
of parameters, it didn't help with crossposts. It's been my experience that
most spam is crossposted; hence it has probably done more to clean my groups
than any killfile rule I have in place using Outlook Express alone.

I can't comment on today's spam as I haven't seen any of it.

BTW, I first learned of NewsProxy (aka nfilter) here in this news group when we
were being buried in crap maybe 18 months ago.

If you feel the need, give yourself a pat on the back. You win the
congratulations.

I used Supernews several years ago, they have *very* aggressive filters,
I don't even remember them allowing any cross posting. I am at the
other extreme now, Easynews allows binaries into text groups if they
make it as far as their servers without being filtered upstream.

This is a non-moderated newsgroup. There *is* no one to filter SPAM. Maybe
you should wander over to alt.idiots-correct_tampon-usage. You might learn

My ISP does very little filtering, but by killfiling all posts from
google.com, I've eliminated about 90% of usenet spam.
