Can't Something Be Done?

About all this Spam X 6??? It's disgusting and ruining our newsgroup.

Chere

I use Free Agent newsreader through the free CIS server and I don't get any spam on this newsgroup.
I get a bit on one of the Buddhist newsgroups that I occasionally visit, but that's the only one
that I get any on. Even that is actually just one guy spamming about a dozen of the religion
newsgroups so it may be too small for a spam blocker to catch.

You can use a different news server. I do not see much of it (unless someone replies to it).

I use Outlook Express (please don't tell me how bad it is) through Comcast and I have no idea what
you are talking about because I don't see it.

Thanks... I'll do that - someone is posting the same SPAM many times over in a succession -
most annoying.

I use Outlook Express through Mindspring (Earthlink) and it's been bombarded with the stuff,
especially the past couple of days.

Then Comcast has done an excellent job of filtering that stuff out of the newsgroups and email. I
rarely ever see it. So I guess I don't know how good I've got it.

Skip, it's the American Way :-)

This one is free and fast and fairly spamfree. http://news.cis.dfn.de/

That's the one I use. The combination of the cis server and Forte Free Agent have served me
very well.

I also use Outlook Express through Comcast and I am getting all of it.

Skip, How did you turn it off?

I didn't do anything other than download the Comcast software. I've never gotten anything other than
a occasional bit of spam on the newsreader or in my email. Someone with a better understanding than
I will have to explain
it.

I have a friend with an MSM account and she tell me her daily dose of emailed spam is incredible.

I also use OE through Comcast, and I got the spam, too - some idiot advertising a cable descrambler
with half a dozen messages.

If your Comcast can't block that guy then who can they block?
