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? -- Greg Broiles | US crypto export control policy in a nutshell: gbroiles@netbox.com | http://www.io.com/~gbroiles | Export jobs, not crypto. |

all the remailers I know strip the headers except the subject. If you put another header type line in the body of the text, it will still be there --in the body which means your filter does a great number of CPU cylces unnecessary. Suggest: Subject: [aga@] whatever the current smoke.... which should pass most of the garden variety remailers. Personally, I think he's so far out, he is almost more humouress than he is ignorant, but he's been procmailed.... __________________________________________________________________________ go not unto usenet for advice, for the inhabitants thereof will say: yes, and no, and maybe, and I don't know, and fuck-off.

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.
