I should'a kill-filed this sicko long ago.
Agreed. But if you (and other anonymous posters) are going to continue to reply to him or other unproductive kooks, would you please put their addresses somewhere in the headers of your messages (perhaps in the To: or Cc: or Subject:) headers so that the rest of us who are using killfiles won't have to read your replies?
If you use procmail, you can use the following entry to support cypherpunks-specific killfile: :0 * ^(Sender|From): owner-cypherpunks@toad.com { :0 BHc: * !? fgrep -q -i -f $HOME/.procmail/killfile.cpunks $MAILDIR/crypto.noflames .. some more irrelevant recipes .. } Then create ~/.procmail and edit file $HOME/.procmail/killfile.cpunks. Put there something like someone@you.want.to.ignore freedom-knights someone@else and so on. This recipe will trash everything with the specified addresses mentioned in headers and bodies of incoming cypherpunks articles. I experimented with this recipe at the height of the f-k vs. cypherpunks flamewar. It reduced the traffic in half and what remained was much more useful. - Igor.
