Here's how my killfile works.
a. I see a post from one of the knuckleheads.
b. I don't read it.
c. I don't respond to their responses to my posts.
d. I get great satisfaction seeing them obliqely refer to my killfill from time to time.

Not a question to Danny specifically, but to Steve and others who really
understand this stuff; is there a way to block entire servers, like the
anonymous one that our friend with innumerable posting names uses?

I'm sure you meant the other Steve, but the only (easy) workable way
to block posts at the server level is with NFilter from
http://www.nfilter.org/ . It seems more complicated than it is to
operate NFilter. The advantage is the ability to block any header
field, which would make it almost impossible for one from certain
posting hosts, IP ranges, or paths to get by you.
For example, to filter me you could filter my server, EasyNews, with
conditional filter on "X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 1.93/32.576 English
(American)" and one on "Organization: ." and voila, I'm a ghost to
you, but other EasyNews clients would still get through. If you found
that I continually nym-shifted or posted from Google, you could set a
filter on the NNTP PostingHost header for my IP range with the same
result. If you want to go even further and your provider allows it,
you could preload my provider in your path and I would never see your
posts.

Mozilla Thunderbird allows you to build a filter based on Subject, From,
and/or Date. There doesn't seem to be a way in that program to block a
domain, but are you sure you really want to block all messages from
gmail.com?

Like Steve said, follow his answer
then select/checkmark;
#1 Select Conditions For Your Rule
"Where the message is from the specified account"
Then #2 Select Conditions For Your Rule.
Select Actions For Your Rule.
Or so it looks..

Heh. I've never even so much as seen OE, so I'm
no help on this one.
If OE can do it, filtering this would do what
you're asking:
NNTP-Posting-Host:<wildcard >news.astraweb.com

You might want to look into Hamster
<http://www.elbiah.de/hamster/index.htm >. Bit of a learning curve before
you're going with it, but it can filter on any field including proprietary
and experimental ones.

Dunno how you do it in Thunderbird, but in most other newsreaders it's
something like selecting the miscreant's load of pusillanimous drivel, then
(from the control bar) {message >block sender>yes} and you never see a direct
message from them again. Of course, you still get all those turkeys (YES!
YOU! You know who I'm talking about, and you shouldn't be reading this reply
to Danny if you dis him so much!) who insist on quoting previous posts in
full and at great length. In OE and Outlook you can also go to
<Tools ><Message Rules><Blocked Senders List> and set them up one by one if
you want to. Comes in VERY handy when troll season arrives, and also for
rock-ape bogans like DBB and RJ. Bet they've got mullets....

As I understand it this group needs to be served up to you via a news
server, THEN you may be able to implement a "killfile" -- such a
picturesque name.

I understand that (I use a news server, not Google). I'm just not
familiar with the Mozilla implementation.

Hi Bernie:
I am certain that you are not referring to me, Bern. I have made some
mistakes. have we not all made mistakes? When I am dishing info. I
really do try to keep it accurate.
But I just cannot live up to the high standards you and danny and smith
uphold. dang!
I do recall your gun fantasies with some amusement, when you were just
plain 'ol "bernie".
Thank you for your valued contributions, all of you. Each is certainly
entitled to their opinions and emotions.
