there is so much spam in the mozilla news groups (i.e. XPCOM, XUL and DOM).
How can I tell SeaMonkey to filter this spam away (at least mark it as
read).
Filters seem not to work for news groups (i.e. I'm missing the run now
button known from the eMail filters).
Mark as spam also does not work for news groups.
One thing I've tried, defined a filter like:
name="Google Groups Spam 1"
enabled="yes"
type="20"
action="Delete"
condition="AND (\"organization\",contains,http://groups.google.com)
AND (\"complaints-to\",contains,groups-ab...@google.com) AND
(\"injection-info\",contains,.googlegroups.com;) AND
(\"x-http-useragent\",contains,Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0;
Windows NT 6.0;) AND (\"x-http-useragent\",contains,Trident/4.0;
GTB6.5; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR)
AND (\"x-http-useragent\",contains,\"3.0.04506; .NET CLR
3.5.21022),gzip(gfe)\")"
This supposedly filters a recent class of spam, but does not
unconditionally filter everything coming from Google Groups.
Closed SeaMonkey and deleted all *.msf files for news.mozilla.org.
Edited "news.mozilla.org.rc" making all groups like:
mozilla.announce: 1
After headers get downloaded again, no of the given spam would land
in. However I've identified this way downloading of new messages
becomes impossibly slow. I've noticed even when disabling the
filter (it is the only one for the account) the same slowdown
happens. Only when removing it all together no slowdown appears.
So I've given up, downloaded recent headers without a filter and
then added the filter so it gets effect for new headers, only.
