Yes, killfiles is what I was thinking of; but I don't understand how to set them up.
On Thunderbird, Menu "tools", then hit message filters. The top entry says on what folder it applies; it can be the entire nntp hierarchy or a single folder. Ok, then hit "new" to create a filter. Give it a name.
There are two main areas: how to trigger the filter and action. The default selector is "subject", so you could say "subject contains [IS SPAM]". Then on actions you could move to another folder, or delete, or kill subthread, tag the email (give it a different color)... Finally, close the dialog, done.
Many, well my own, ISPs or aggregators run SpamAssassin. Perhaps they don't 'kill' but they do rate. The filter can check headers, check for SpamAssassin ratings. or things that begin '**SPAM**'.
Not on Usenet, they do nothing. That's if they even have a server. And Thunderbird can not run spam filters on the usenet account, nor can spamassassin or any tool I know. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
