I have several Usenet accounts, and even of late with the spamming

Set the filters for the news server (news.mozilla.org) rather than

on the server. Example (msgFilterRules.dat):

No problem, NoOp, when I set up a filter, especially for UseNet, I do
select to apply the filter to the server, not just the particular
group.
But, ultimately, I would like to apply them all to all my news
servers at once, not just to a particular server.

Ah, I see what you're asking now. I know of no way to do that all in
one
go. However, I _think_ if you set up one you could then copy the same
msgFilterRules.dat file to the other news folders. Disclaimer: I've
not
tried this, so back up & then try - maybe with a test profile first. I
can try later today on a test system if you'd rather me do the
breaking :-)
I've done this - just a couple days ago. It works.
I don't know how you did it, Rufus, but, if every I get motivated, I'd
be looking in prefs.js to see if there is a separate location listed
for each of the msgFilterRules.dat files, and if so, try pointing each
one to the same location.
Is this how you did it, Rufus??
Daniel
No - I didn't touch any of the .js files...
What I did was to duplicate the one msgFilterRules.dat file that I had
in my master Account and put those duplicates into the folders for the
other Accounts, replacing the ones that were there. That way I ended up
with the same base rule/filter set for each Account/server.
Then I went into the individual Accounts and performed a couple minor
Edit actions to add or remove what I wanted for each. Took me all of
about 5 minutes.
So you are still using separate files for each account. Seems a waste to
me.
I tried asking in the seamonkey IRC group last night, but the SM team
were holding a meeting at the time I asked. I will try again.
Daniel
Yes, but at least they all started from the same file - so I have/had
the same set of rules for each server...which I eventually figured out
that I didn't really want to be the case anyway - but only by one or two
rule instances. I'm satisfied...they are small files.
