There seems to be a flood of junk, or obfuscated posts in several of the newsgroups I frequent currently. The kind with subjects like aadp86YkN6l2TgfcKcffMaXIv IVSc37MerAFeDbnHKvePn1bo6 etc, coming from similarly named posters. These are coming in the thousands per day. I know some newsreaders have ways of filtering these - is there something like that in usenapp?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to easily filter these types of messages. Maybe you can experiment with regex, but it won’t be easy.
You’re better off using MegaSearch, which filters out most of the junk and obfuscated titles on the server side.
You can try a regex filter on subject like this: ^[a-zA-Z0-9]{25}$
^[a-zA-Z0-9]{25}$
I have not tested it yet.
The above regex filter works.
Thank you ever so much, I’ll give it a try tonight.
Cool - it seems to work! Excellent! Thanks!
Works a treat, thank you very much!
