I have the filters set-up and they look good, but they do not work. HELP?
Your post doesn't say much. Where are the filters? What software are you using to read Usenet? I use my email program, Thunderbird. I have a bunch of filters set up and they work very well. Are you using capital letters to match the words you are looking for? Paul
I am using SeaMonkey for newsgroup account for teranews.com; i click on an offending e-mail (one of a hundred or so per day), click on the underlined source address and a pull-down menu is displayed under there. I select the filter option, and the first, default line is From:, the condition is IS:, and the last part (for matching purposes is an exact copy of the from field. Therefore there can be no errors in spelling, case, etc. As i had mentioned in the past, there are two "source" nyms both from "at" kpnmail "dot" nl. I have expanded the number of conditions, thinking that these are "OR" (x OR Y or zz) to have both complete addresses, with just the "at" kpnmail "dot" nl ("contains"), with just the kpnmail "dot" nl ("contains"), with each name only ("contains"). In short, i have covered these damn things every which way, and ZERO are removed.
The filter he would be using, looks like this. http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/9230/seamonkeyfilter.gif ******* At one time, the miscreants were getting through, using a From: field like . But in this example, they've changed their delivery method. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.computer/msg/2d6d78d59101a9dc?dmode=source The only part of that header that has anything to do with kpn.nl, is this: In-Reply-To: <50527dd6$0$1379$> You could filter a From: of gmail.com, but then that will get rid of half the legit messages as well.

It's a Google groups message, with a From: field involving gmail.com . A question would be, how many more times they would go to the trouble of exploiting Google. I guess it depends on how "mental" they are. If there's steganography in that message, I can't see it. That would be hard to filter, even for the newsserver administrator. Paul
I do not understand. The "from" says nothing about gmail. For screen shots of my filter setup, see: http://www.oil4lessllc.org/spam/ What do i add or change? Thanks (hair loss excessive from this).
Absolutely none of these messages i see are via Google; they all are from kpnmail.nl . But that is not the point of my question: HOW do i get my filter to work? Again, screen shots at: http://www.oil4lessllc.org/spam/
HMMmmmmmm.... Tawt i taw a puddy tat. Looked at the screen shot example you posted, and noticed the choices "all" and "any"; and i had "all" selected; so i just now selected the "any". Will let you know the results soon (will wait a while for more to come in or test).
