Better than just having them go away via a killfile go the header and get
the abuse addy for the remailer and write them and complain. Tom L.L. "BryanB" wrote in message ink.net... Simple solution: Add the word "anonymous" to your "from:" killfile filter. They'll all go away.... --Bryan On 6/12/2005 7:44 PM Larry let loose a lemur across the keyboard and it typed:BR Was going to put a few more posters out of their misery(kill file them) but saw that they were regular posters. If you think the message is a forgery check the header fields. It'll most likely be from a re mailer rather than the actual person's email addy. Clever little minions!

Better than just having them go away via a killfile go the header and get the abuse addy for the remailer and write them and complain. A number of remailers specifically state they will take no action for usenet hostility. They likely draw the line at criminal conduct, but you'd have to believe that they actually read their abuse box, which itself is doubtful. About the only surefire way to get their attention is spelled "subpoena", although a letter on attorney letterhead will also do it. C//

A number of remailers specifically state they will take no action for usenet hostility. # From what I have seen on Usenet over the years - this is true. They likely draw the line at criminal conduct, # Since they keep no logs they have no way to know who is or isn't into criminal activity. but you'd have to believe that they actually read their abuse box, which itself is doubtful. # I agree. Any complaints probably go straight to the bit bucket. About the only surefire way to get their attention is spelled "subpoena", although a letter on attorney letterhead will also do it. # See above. Without logs even that wouldn't stop the abuser. They can't ban the person since they have no way to know who she/he is. -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder...

They don't consider "flame wars" abuse. Even when a remailer slanders and libels someone it's ignored. All you can do is either ignore the anon posters, or killfile them (if you can). -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing."
