I can't see David's posts since he is using Google.
I haven't posted used Google Groups for a long time. I do however use
gmail for my usenet email address (which is valid).
If you are filtering out posters because they use gmail for email then
that's the wrong approach.


Well, right now I don't have another option but hopefully I'll figure out something that works better. Problem is that google floods servers with spam and they seem unwilling to do anything about it. I wrote to them but they didn't even bother to answer.

I'll looks for something that filters only when messages actually comes from a google server and not filter it when it comes from teranews like your posts.


Oops, of course Joerg won't be able to read this because I'm being filtered for using gmail.
If someone with a "real" email address can bump it so he can see it that would be appreciated!
BTW, I post using Teranews, I'm not sure if that's "trendy" and acceptable enough this week?, or is that a spammer haven too?...


AFAICT the problem domain is only google. After I blocked that the spam volume immediately fell to close to zero. In fact, most days it is zero, in all newsgroups I follow.


I could of course post using any of my other email addresses, but that would ruin my archive history, I've been posting using the same gmail address for over 5 years now. Can't lose that covered 3 highest poster position on aus.electronics now can I! :->


Very understandable. Thought about a Guinness book entry? :-)


Dave.

"Bumped" for Joerg's benefit.

(Dave, I block all that stuff that Joerg does, _except_ I know how to
use a white-list, which you are on ;-)


Thanks, Jim.
