newsreader killfile question

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

For the questioning brothers, here is a small snip from my daily junk
emails(I have 3 similar emails, and I get them daily).  If you post in a
newsgroup the robots are mining addresses, hence my new tagline.  I post
with a modified from/reply to because of the rise in junk mail.  BTW,
replying with remove in the subject line is a waste.  I'm near the email
bomb stage with this group, or an autodialer to their 800 number.


Yes, I still use OS/2, not gatesware.  I may switch to Linux for the
newsgroups if it means stopping the spam deluge.

Can I make a Perl script to kill every file with $$$ anywhere in the
subject line?

Bro Richard, what newsgroups are you in?  Every newsgroup I've stopped
in has 30% or more spam(not to mention 10% off topic).
