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**'. Of course I have specific 'kill' ratings, people I _never_ want to see correspondence from. -- “Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it’s conspiracy theories or free-market,” -- James Glattfelder. http://jth.ch/jbg
