Screen out China

Should be a way to screen all the crappy emails about clothing from China! Why don't they start their own post?

This is for woodworking - let's keep it that way.

I'm afraid you're spitting in the wind with this one.

This is a newsgroup on UseNet - the Wild West of the internet and this newsgroup is Unmoderated - which means anyone can post anything (as long as it's just "text" as opposed to "binaries" which permit posting image files), There is no easy way to filter out "spam".

Since you appear to be new to UseNet, be aware that in addition to posts for products and services not related to the usenet newsgroup's focus, you'll also see "phishing/fishing" messages that are intended to provoke responses - from which e-mail addresses can be gathered - or "points earned based on the number of responses".

Your best bet is to just ignore messages that don't interest you. These things come and go. This one will go away in a while.

Like one said - maybe.

I was getting a lot of Russian text mail. Since that font is on my computer I could select some unique characters and sort out a large volume. Then add another letter on those that got through. They were clever by changing username and domain on every one. You could see a computer doing it.

So their matra - what ever it was got them in the trash.

Here I mark as read - likely have to try several letters and do a series.

Get a better ISP for USENET - one that does spam filtering.

I don't see any. I pay $10 a year.

I ran a mail server that had to have sendmail rules to fix those.
