1. Since I'm a professor, I get a lot of e-mail from students
with the word "test" in the subject line. Lately, I've gotten
a lot of spam with a subject line consisting of "test" plus
some random word. Normally I'd filter on the word "test", but
then I'd miss all those fascinating student e-mails.
2. Since I read RCB, I might be interested in posts titled
"India Pale Ale". This makes it suck when I'm tempted to filter
the word "India".

Will your software let you filter on the number of crossposts? Most
of the messages in this group are not crossposted.

I keep hoping I'll find a way to filter out posts going also to specific
unrelated newsgroups. So far - no luck. This would easily elimnate
huge #'s of troll threads.

What application are you using to read newsgroups with? Maybe someone
using the same software can tell you if/how you can do it.

Outlook Express. I've checked O.E. newsgroups, and so far no luck.

Like someone else mentioned, instead of filtering on the subject line
filter on the crossposted group "soc.culture.indian" in the Newsgroups
line.

If it's possible to do that with XNews, I haven't been able to
figure it out.

I tried that in OE and it doesn't work.
My ISP has cottoned on to this spammer and his original posts are stripped
out but, replies are not.
If you don't support spamming don't even look at the message leave alone
reply.

...or, as above, MailWasher.
