On this computer I am on a dial-up account and I don't know how to stop
downloading these silly postings as I have to pay for the time it takes
to download them.


Good news and bad news really.

You're using Turnpike [TP], which is the good news...but you're still
using the slightly antiquated version 5? Any particular reason why you
haven't upgraded to version 6? I would highly recommend it - albeit the
comfort changeover takes a little bit of time, due to the rewrite into an
Explorer shell. [Don't worry, though, it's still a standalone piece of
software. Once you've been using it for a few weeks you'll never look
back. Apart from with distant affection ]

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


The problem is that complaints to
get rejected.


This is a rejection rule for you to stop the material arriving. Nothing
to do with where you might be posting anything.

[To clarify: I could've just as easily recommended filtering on
'bignose.com' had it figured in *every* header, but I'm not suggesting
anyone will be sat at bignose.com waiting for your e-mail, or if it even
exists.]
