[Meta] *GETTING RID OF THE JUNK* - Newsgroup filtering for Windows users in rec.photo newsgroups

I've created a mirror of the no longer maintained 'nfilter' Usenet junk
filtering program. I've also created a custom filter that will nuke the
crossposted junk, & (currently) one of our trolls.

Download site: http://li.ve.ly/nfilter/

Instructions: Follow the directions on the FAQ page:
http://li.ve.ly/nfilter/faq.html#2.1

Once you've got the filter installed & working, download the filter set
(nfilter.dat), then copy it over the default filter (usually:
"C:\Program Files\NewsProxy\nfilter.dat") that was installed with the
program.

Stop & restart the program with the buttons provided, & voila! - Enjoy a
(mostly) junk-free rec.photo digital, or rec.photo.equipment.35mm

I'll be updating the filter as required, so keep an eye on the newsgroup
for update announcements.

Filtering details: This ruleset drops any posts that:
(1) are crossposted to more than one other group,
(2) or are from the Preddy troll's main email address.
Feel free to modify the rules for your own preferences (the edit menu in
nfilter/newsproxy).

I look forward to the day when I can close the elist I created just to avoid the
trash on this group. however, it is still there but with only some 44 members.
but, it is fully moderated and nothing is getting thru it!!
Again, feel free to join if your newsreader doesn't work with this feature set.
example is Forte's Agent which I use.

Agent works fine with this program - that is what I'm using myself.

the trash level is unbelieveable on this list now, I usually set to ignore
or
even delete as many as 225 messages every evening.

just incredible.

Chas, I use Outlook Newsreader and when I find a message that I don't want
to deal with, I go to Message/Block Sender. That has eliminated most of the
trash that I don't want to see. Other readers may have the same feature.

That works too, but you have to keep on adding new addresses because the
trolls keep on changing them to avoid kill-files. The advantage of
useing nfilter is that you can eliminate crossposted junk completely, &
there's nothing that the trolls can do to get around that. That just
leaves the trolls who only post to this group, who you can easily
killfile by author.
