get rid of posting from @mi5.gov.uk

Team,

I like this group and I like reading the postings but I do have a
problem with the people that post all the MI5 junk (there email
(fake)address is ending with @mi5.gov.uk ) in this (and other groups).
Is there any way how they can be blocked?

It all depends on how you are reading the group? If you are using a
web client like google gropus, I don't think there is. You can report
it, but I'm not sure how effective it is. You could also use a full
featured usenet client which normally has the ability to filter
messages based on user defined criteria. It's been awhile since I used
one so I cannot give a recommendation to a specific one though. Back
in my heavy usenet days I used Agent (http://www.forteinc.com/main/
homepage.php) with great success.

Adam, I did report it (response still pending) because I'm not just
reading this group where this particular person is posting. I use a
browser since I'm working on a lot of different environments.

+1 for Agent.  Great filtering.

I doubt this would be effective, just as Adam commented :(
We have some interesting discussions, but the noise of MI5 is too high
and makes the good info hard to find.

What web-based service do you use?
Google Groups do not offer filtering... I think Netscan did, but it
was closed ealier this year...
Let's search -- the first to find any other website in which filtering
is an option, let the others know :)
