Just of curiousity.

What kind of news readers are you all using?

So far I'm using Thunderbird, as it works under Linux and under windows.

However the anti-spam capabilities of Thunderbird (concerning nntp) are
not existing (or if they exist I don't know how to use them).

Id be curious in a news reader (working under Linux and Windows)

If the news reader would allow perl scripts or arbitrary executables as
filters it would great

thanks in advance for any suggestions ideas.

HI all,
Has someone an idea how to stop the spamming in the list.
This is really disgusting.
Thanks in advance,

You could do it all in perl. CPAN has a module News::NNTP

Extract the posting host IP address, do a whois lookup on it to
get the abuse address, send email to the abuse address with
a copy of the spam.

Good idea. Would be great to introduce it here

NewsSurfer of course =)
