All the crap messages have: X-Complaints-To: Step 2: get at least a third rate newsreader (that rules out outlook express) Have it filter out messages unique to the spammer such as the X-Complaints-To, nntp-posting-host, or path headers. |

These people take over hundreds (or even thousands) of computers around the world by installing viruses, then use your own high-bandwidth connection for their own dirty work. The trojan could be there for months, simply waiting for someone to activate it. As long as there's un-protected computers, this garbage will continue to flourish. Dan |

It might help if legitimate postings had an agreed upon keyword at the beginning of the subject line to easily distinguish them from the random word subject lines, for example if everyone started their subject line with RAT. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |

This is actually an attack against them. The poster is hoping that everyone will complain and flood their Email. |
