Car Forum / Saturn Cars / January 2008Mi5 douchebag
can't anybody block this douche? he is spamming all the NG's. Notice how he is changing the spelling to decieve filters? What a Douche.  Signaturemarx404 >can't anybody block this douche? Yes. You can. Google "Outlook Express" "Block Sender". >he is spamming all the NG's. Notice how he >is changing the spelling to decieve filters? What a Douche. He didn't get through *my* filters... looks like you need to update yours. SignatureRegards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. You must be the Alpha Geek there Doug. Just when I thought that I had effectively blocked this idiot, he starts using modified subject and email addresses. How did you filter it?

I'm not sure which of several filters is removing his posts -- but I imagine it's probably the one that drops anything crossposted to more than three groups. >>You must be the Alpha Geek there Doug.

Hmmm.... Creative technique. Hadn't thought of that one. The nut may start posting to single groups since it appears to be an automated sending system. >>>You must be the Alpha Geek there Doug.

Hadn't thought of that one. It's useful for removing a lot of other crap, too. Seems to me that it would be fairly rare for a post to be legitimately on-topic in four or more groups. >The nut may start posting to single groups since it appears to be an >automated sending system. If so, and he starts coming through my filters, then I'll tweak them as needed til I don't see him any more -- then post a copy of what worked here.

Just when I thought that I had > effectively blocked this idiot, he starts using modified subject and email > addresses. How did you filter it? Apparently it's been going on for years. I don't know of any effective way to block it in OE without resorting to hundreds of rules. Other newsreaders employ better techniques for rule creation, regular expressions for instance. Unfortunately it takes some study.... I'm working on that approach now. Let you know if I succeed. Can't we make a rule for the number 5 and, voilà? >> You must be the Alpha Geek there Doug.

Let you know if I succeed. > Can't we make a rule for the number 5 and, voilà? Yes, you can, and it would probably work. The problem is you might flag many posts unintentionally. If someone said in the subject line their SL2 has 125,000 miles on the odometer, that message would be flagged too. So ideally you'd like to make the rule more specific. But if you're willing to possibly miss a few posts, it's OK. >> Can't we make a rule for the number 5 and, voilà? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > ideally you'd like to make the rule more specific. But if you're willing to > possibly miss a few posts, it's OK. I wasn't thinking clearly. If, for instance, you made a rule that included "M" and "I" and "5" it should catch all the MI5 posts with very little chance of flagging posts unintentionally. |
