I've just expanded one of my UseNet servers and found that about 35 of
the 40-odd groups have one message posted to them (even some groups that
I haven't seen a real message posted to in over twelve months).
In that case, the filter to the news server instead of the individual
newsgroup. Click the 'Filters for: and select the news server. Then set
the filter. The filter will then apply to all newsgroups on that news
server.
Yes, NoOp, I typed in the next para that I had tried to set a
server-wide filter!!
I suspected it was spam that had been cross-posted, so made a
server-wide filter looking for the e-mail subject and set it to mark it
as read.
I then ran the filter by clicking the "Run Now" button at the bottom of
the Message Filters screen, after selecting the server I had wanted that
filter to apply for.......No change.
I then closed the "Message Filters" screen, re-selected it under Tools,
re-selected the server, "Run Now"....no change.
With the UseNet server selected, the other two options, "Run Filers on
Folder" and "Run Filters on Message" are greyed out, so what am I doing
wrong??
Do server-wide filters work at all??
Yes. However the "Run Now" button only works on email messages, not with
nntp. When you set a 'new' filter for nntp it works with 'new' messages
only. In order refilter all of the previous nntp messages you'll need to
unsubscribe from the newsgroup& then resubscribe. When the headers are
reloaded, the filters will apply.
O.K., I'll try to remember this the next time I'm about to get hit by spam!!
