Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2005RCPA: NEWS Read question
Does anyone know of a newsreader or OE plugin that lets you filter IPs (not domains). I did some googling yesterday, but did not find what I wanted. I may have to switch to Outlook and write my own.

It at least was able to block crossposted messages. I haven't had time to do much anythin out of the ordinary now that we're moving, only sorting and packing. Can't remember where I downloaded Gravity, but did find it thru google.

One word of warning: when you try to launch NP-120.exe to install nfilter, you will get a warning about it not being a valid Win32 application. Apparently, the person who created it as a self-installing archive did something wrong. The work-around is to launch some other zip-reading program, such as the free program QuickZip available from http://www.quickzip.org/, and tell it to open NP-120.exe as a file. This will allow you to extract the contents. SignatureJohn F.

Nfilter (Newsproxy) unfortunately doesn't seem to be compatible with Windows XP Service Pack 2. I know it does work with Windows 98 Second Edition. The Xnews reader (http://xnews.newsguy.com) is freeware with good filtering capability. SignatureThe night is just the shadow of the Earth. I read rpca through Google. They do not have a killfile and this is a real mess. Can anyone tell me if this "nfilter" would work with Google?? PatM > I read rpca through Google.

If you read news using Google, Google would have to filter out the usenet spam. The people who use Google should let Google know what is going on. SignatureThe night is just the shadow of the Earth. [[I read rpca through Google. They do not have a killfile and this is a real mess.]] Try talkaboutpets.com instead -- there's no killfile, so you have to make a conscious decision not to click on unwanted userid's posts. But there are NO garbage posts whatsoever. They filter it out, so we don't have to. http://www.talkaboutpets.com/group/rec.pets.cats.anecdotes/ Thanks Gabey! I did check it out and it looks good.

They are similar, but he was asking about filtering on IPs - that is, Internet Protocol addresses. Very different than ISP. And as far as the original question, no, I'm aware of any such plugin.

Judging from my experience with in the last couple of days, however, it doesn't seem entirely happy with XP service pack 2. It works for a while, then hangs. SignatureJohn F.
