Some time ago there was a post in this group about how to killfile posts
from anyone who also posts in another group such as alt.usenet.kooks. I set
that up and it worked quite well, but I recently had to reinstall Windows
after a crash and lost all mail and newsgroup rules. Could anyone remind me
how it was done please?

Thanks

You can read about and download NewsProxy (aka nfilter) here.
http://www.nfilter.org/faq.html

In the filter configuration add the following line

* aflag:XKOOK xref:*alt.usenet.kooks*

Then set your newsreader to delete anything with XKOOK in the author
header.

The official version downloadable from this website is quite old but
still works fine. There is a more up to date version knocking about on
the www somewhere where some guy has taken the reins after development
on the above version ceased.

I am currently using v1.2.4 but there's little difference from the
official v1.2.1b1

I'm using v1.2.0 and it works fine. I prefer:

* drop xref:*kooks*

These two are also very useful, catching about 95% of the trolls:

* drop xref:*:*:*
* drop followup-to:*,*


Many and profuse thanks to the author.
