Does the spammer always use particular unique phrases that
nobody else is likely to ever use? It should be possible to
create a filter that searches the body for particular phrases
and activate if two or more phrases peculiar to this annoyance
are found. Depending upon how likely you deem it that the
filter could activate in error you might want to simply mark
the post as read as opposed to deleting it or perhaps move it
to a suspect folder for later consideration.

As we're dealing with UseNet, I don't thing the " move it to a
suspect folder for later consideration." is an option. "mark the
post as read" or deleting (which effectively does the same thing)
would be my choose.
I use "Delete" and it is my understanding that it effectively
deletes any messages from the newsgroup download, in my case the
download from "eternal september". Please, someone, correct me if
that is not correct.
I believe the headers still download and then get deleted from the
newsgroup in your SeaMonkey.
What does your filter log indicate?
For what it's worth, I suspect that if you click "delete" on a News
Group subject, it just marks it as read.
