A ng my wife subscribes to has been inundated with messages containing nothing but groups of letters which make no sense. This has been going on for some time and some subscribers have reported 1,000's of posts of a similar type. Although not all get through some ISP's seem to fare better than others. I understand these messages are computer generated and lots of them used forged ID purporting to come from regular posters on the group. With this in mind is it possible to set rules to kill this prat, obviously the "from" is not an option and he intersperses these posts within different threads. I understand that he was a regular poster with an attitude and when flamed replied in this vein. He's been kicked from previous ISP's but keeps moving. My wife has tried to ignore this and made other arrangements however I now find I am in receipt of 7 e-mails addressed to postmaster@dtn.ntl.com from Turnpike_NNTP_Client@dt n.ntl.com full of this crap with different message senders. I e-mailed the relevant abuse@ but wondered if anyone has any advice on how best to prevent being inundated with this crap. -- Neil Swann
