Title: OT
Post by: swift240 on August 20, 2007, 09:56:17 PM
Ok guys,
I know this is off topic, but this is doing my bloody head in.
I use Thunderbird 2.0.0.6
And I susbscribe to news.blueyonder.co.uk
No problems so far.

BUT this a******e keeps getting into the groups that I goto.
He is known as below:-
He is annoying every one.

MI5Victim@mi5.gov.uk

He always gives posts that has nothing what so ever to do with the relevant news group.
No one can seem to get rid of him. Saying that Google did get rid of him for a while but now he is back.
I can get rid of his posts using the K key to kill
but his s*** keeps coming back to all the news groups he sends to.
How on earth can I permanently get rid of this s****d

I cant find any thing that will do the job.
BTW, I am not sure where else to go to find an answer to this.
TIA,

I don't know what else to say than "Welcome to the Internet." :-D

Google has about 24,000 (http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=%2B%22MI5Victim%40mi5.gov.uk%22&qt_s=Search) of his posts stored.  "Him" being an automated script, i.e. a spambot.

Usenet has become a dump for spam and warez.  I gave it up years ago.

Its Ok, I have just worked out a KILL list for him, not I have got rid of him.
It was easier than I thought.

No more crap from that jerk.
