Is there a way in UE 1.5.1 to specify a Kill Filter for articles that have been crossposted? If not, I suggest it for an enhancement as such messages are often Spam.
Thanks.
Kill Filtering Crossposts
frequently enough they are not.
spammers are the same clever, it is easy to configure an autoposter to post only into few newsgroups at a time (try to check autoposters and look what are defaults there for crossposting, probably a low number).
it is not unusual for non-spam messages to be crossposted into 2-3 newsgroups with nzb crossposted into additional nzb newsgroup.
so the feature is very easy to add but it is not clear how useful it might be, only will work against non-experienced spammers and affecting more valid posts than spam.
if you have collections enabled i noticed frequently spam posts are grouped under the same collection when they are trying to mimic same binary subject repeated a number of times, but there are no certain rules.
