It could be possible to use this rule [a custom rule to be applied
within the kill rules of the specific NG] in V5:
/^X\-Complaints\-To: /h
Wouldn't this rule kill /all/ messages with the complaints
line, including valid ones?
Yes. Good point. And, as I've done myself, remove the rule a day or two
after the deluge.
Each time a new similar rule is added for a different batch of junk arriving
via a different ISP, more and more valid messages will be ignored until the
user of the rules begins to wonder if he or she is now the only user of the
newsgroup.
See above.
I think there were other possibilities (a line or two in the headers that
read '0wned' where the O is actually the number 0)? Perhaps these would be
better candidates for the rules?
Yeah, there are/were a few candidates [which Pedt listed]. You pays yer
money you takes yer choice really. Just try and make sure you know what
you're doing and why you're doing it.
