Walter, I use the following settings, with the only drawback being that all messages originating from Google Groups (also where 99% of group spam originates from) will be filtered out. 1) In the main SM e-mail window, click on Tools | Message Filters 2) Under the Filters for: drop-down box, scroll down to what you've named the server for Mozilla newsgroups (mine is labelled SeaMonkey Newsgroups), slide right and click on choose this newsserver 3) If you don't have a filter set up yet, you'll need to create one using the New button. (I call mine Global Killfile). Once in the Filter Rules dialog box, in the first drop-down field, click on Customize at the bottom. In the Customize Header dialog box, type in Organization in the field under New message header:, then click the Add button, then the OK button. 4) The middle field of the three should be set to contains 5) In the third field next to the + button, type groups.google.com (without quotes, of course), then click on Delete Message in the drop-down box under Perform these actions: 6) Make sure the radio button for Match any of the following is ticked, and the Apply filter when: setting is Checking Mail or Manually Run. Click the OK button of the Filter Rules dialog box to finalize your settings. Exit the Message Filters dialog box using the close X button. This will effectively filter all the spam messages the newsgroups have currently been receiving, with the only drawback, as I stated above, of also deleting all posts originating from Google Groups. However, I haven't observed this to be detrimental to message traffic, but YMMV. Purrs -- Thanks, D. K.

Have you considered OpenDNS?

Re: filtering newsgroup messages
OpenDNS is supposed to, at the router-level, filter
everything that passes through it.
Are you saying that routers pass newsgroup feeds
unhindered, even with OpenDNS toggled-on?
I don't know either way but that would seem very odd.

Re: filtering newsgroup messages
And you have OpenDNS on and have it set to filter
porn and other stuff and it misses that content in
newsgroups?
I will ask on the OpenDNS support forum and see what
they say.
