No, you should blacklist (filter out) Google Groups, the source of
nearly all Usenet spam. Real people use Gmail and Yahoo addresses, so
that is not a good idea.

I had a look at that... and at this page:
http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/filters_ex2.html
it's claimed that Thunderbird/Seamonkey is unable to filter on
Message-ID. That may be true on the default setup (I'm not sure, it has
been *so long* since I started a profile from scratch..) but it's not
completely true. First, it's possible to create custom headers as
explained here:
Those pages are not up to date. They were written by the late Blinky the
Shark (longtime Usenet guy who died young a few years ago), and archived
by someone else. Yes, Tbird/Seamonkey can now filter on Message ID, but
could not when Blinky wrote those pages. It's quite simple to do so now.
The pages are often recommended when someone complains of spam.

(I dimly remember having to do *something* to get that option to set up
custom headers. Maybe they are/used to be hidden by default, and I had
to change some about:config setting?)
There's a customize button in the filter dialog if I remember correctly.
Okay now that I have found customize. How. what's the best method.
