--There's a thread over at rec.crafts.metalworking about how to
solve the sporge problem and/or identifying the originating domain. The
thread's called 'Who did it' and there were several posters who had
responses that were a bit over my head. Mayhap some of the cleverer posters
here could implement them for us?

Sounds good. You wouldn't have a thread title, would you? Would save me
from having to download umpteen zillion threads in my reader. Google's
interface would make it easier.

Gordon:
As the original post said, the thread is identified as "Who did it".
The post of interest is from Steve Ackman:

which is pretty cryptic. There is a follow up post from
William Noble:

The DoN. Nichols Post is a little more informative:

In summary, you need a news reader that has "kill file" support
and the ability to select an arbitrary header. For the last
sporge on rec.crafts.metalworking, the header to kill file is:
"NNTP-Posting-Host: 82.35.108.103".
For my particular newsreader (Thunderbird), I've never been
able to get a permanent killfile to work. I sort of doubt
that Thunderbird has arbitrary header filtering (I could be
wrong; I've done no research on the topic.) Maybe somebody who
knows more can illuminate my admitted ignorance on this topic.

They appear to be from a lot more places than one IP! Perhaps the lucky
person who posted the thread already had spam filtering put on by his/her
isp.

I'm in the same boat as you! Can only filter by Subject, Date and From
headers O-o. Strange because you can filter E-mail with whatever you like!

When a news client retrieves the headers, all it will typically get are
Path, From, Newsgroups, Subject, Date, Organization, and Message-ID.
Filtering on the body as well as on the other header lines is possible
but that would require downloading the complete feed for the group.
Nowadays, with broadband more available, that's not impossible, although
I'm not aware of any common clients that implement it.
The Path header line is probably a good candidate for sporge filtering;
just need to find a client that supports it -- or grab the Thunderbird
SVN snapshot and add it. ;-)
