Could anyone tell me how to stop newsgroup spam - I have reported it to
Demon but nothing seems to be happening - is there anything I can do
this end?

Try filtering out the subject and the posters?

Nobody can filter the amount of junk that's been sent to this group
lately.
Judith needs an ISP that helps to do some of that. Freeserve, who I used,
seemed to stop a lot of it, but not all of it.

http://news.individual.net did a good job, well worth the 10 EUR (few £'s) a
year, some spam/crossposted junk appeared for a few hours then disappeared
when they caught up.

Can't say I've noticed much, but then I'm only skimmming urg at the
moment. I don't use n.i.n anymore, my ISP news service is outsourced to
Supernews and I suspect that they killed a lot of it as well.
