This will help you get to a start point to make a rule to block out the

Hi,
As you're using Windows Mail, click on one of the offending senders, then on
Message/Junk Mail/Add sender to blocked senders list

You look to be using Windows Mail. You can get rid of them by doing this.
1) Start WM
2) Go to Tools/Messages Rules/News
3) Create a New Message Rule
4) Check mark when message is from line contains -- here you can use names
"no spam", "spam" or "no" as an example.
5) Check mark Delete it
6) Save the message rule
7) Now the message rule has been saved.
8) Select the Apply Now button
9) Select the message rule to apply
10) Use the Browse button and browse to the News Group to apply the message
rule.
11) Use the Apply now button, which will sweep the NG and delete the posts
based on the names in the list.
Now, when you see a post that has been made by someone that's in the list,
the content of the post will be blocked, and the next time you start WM and
go to the NG where you have blocked people, then they will be gone.
You might want to do Subject Contains message rule and get anything with
Linux, FYI etc, etc.
When you want to add new data, you select a message rule that you have
created, double click the underscored list line, Add button to add new
data, save it, and go back through the Apply Now to sweep a NG and delete
posts.

I am assessing through msnews.microsoft.com, coming into Windows Mail.
If I block the "senders domain" does that block all the alias's he uses
without blocking other *normal* people who post?

You forgot to mention to include Mike Hall and most other MVPs in the
kill list plus Franky and his ****wit pals.

I believe that "Sender's Domain" is the part to the right of the "@", in for
example "no (e-mail address removed)". It is only useful if people are using real
addresses. It would be really, really useful to be able to filter on
"NNTP-Posting-Host", "Organization" or "Complaints-To" to give a few
examples, but as far as I know WM does not do that.

That's correct.

addresses.
It wouldn't be useful even then. It's unlikely that you would want to
filter *everybody* who posted from aol.com or comcast.com or
verizon.net.

XNews can filter on those.

Can it also block Xnews users?

No, only Windows Live Mail users.
Actually, you can score using header in the standard XOVER or any header at
all if the server support XHDR.

Agent can easily do both at the same time.

I'm curious as to why. What, in your opinion, makes one newsreader
better for some newsgroups, and another better for others (leaving
aside the question of binary groups).
I use Agent for everything.
