It's been a while since I posted here, this newsgroup used to be reasonably free of trolls and sad bastards but clearly a couple of people are using their computer without telling their mummy.
Can I block people using agent so I don't have to see their bandwidth draining drivel?
If so how, as I'm not a newsreader expert.
Cheers
I don't know about your version of Agent, but on v1.93 you go to Message > Filters > Kill filter, where you can select Author or Subject, and set various values.
If you go to Group > Default Properties > Filters, you can set the default parameters.

Whilst on the subject, if you read the Help, it also suggests you can use :-
body:
raw-body:
but I can't get it to accept those terms. has anyone got that working ?
Cheers Terry
My version of Agent doesn't support that, but there is an Agent newsgroup that's pretty good, you could try there:
alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent

Thanks
Right click, Filters, New Kill Filter, Paste Author (if not already there), then your choice of action.
I use Hamster (as a proxy) as it has more powerful rules. Most spammers/trolls keep changing email addresses so filtering on this rarely worls IMHO.
