BROL shivers!

You saw it here first!

http://highracers.blogspot.com/2005/12/hrs-staff-member-succeeds-shutting.html

The staff of HRS is proud to announce that today one of our senior
staff members managed to take control of the BROLie message board
server and shut it down. A Full TKO knockout.

According to our dedicated HRS specialist, "It was easy to do. The
idiots at BROLie never back up data. They use cheap software running on
a refurbished Atari computer from Goodwill. Any monkey out there can
shut em down anytime day or night."

After the infamous FOG message board got hacked, CNBC reported that
prescription drugs sales in the US had skyrocketed. Apparently a large
percentage of FOGS in America had to medicate themselves into a stupor
when they lost use of the BROLie message board.

For his dedicated work FOKing with the BROLie servers this savvy monkey
will be rewarded with a rare vintage Sunset recumbent and a large
supply of bananas. At HRS we take care of our staff members when they
perform valuable services to humanity.

This poster is CONSTANTLY spamming Usenet newsgroups. He consistently
changes the name he uses for each new post, making it (intentionally)
impossible for us to filter out his posts.

I believe he does this simply to generate traffic for his blog,
attempting to drive advertising by increasing his hits.

I'm sure he's in violation of your T&C. Would you kindly investigate?

So filter on his IP address instead:

NNTP-Posting-Host: 66.99.1.49

Works for me -- I didn't see the original post, only your reply because I
had already filtered his IP.

I may just be missing a very big boat, but ... with Forte Agent, I
can't seem to filter out IP addresses or, for that matter, keywords
*other than* those in the subject line.

Anybody know how?? I'd be grateful.

Subject and author only, according to the help file with 1.8.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird, and I can filter by sender email, and subject
(both is, isn't, contains, isn't in address book & a couple of other
variables) and I find this to be pretty good, in addition to ignore thread.

I use slrn and can filter on any header line, even partial matches using
wild cards. Very versatile.
