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.

Your point being that most 'feeds' are 'raw', unprocessed. Yes, you can get email like that. Set up your own server, raw. Is this better security because you have absolute control, because you ow _exactly_ what pre-and-post processing your email is getting? What you mail transfer agent is doing? Was Hillary right after all? Is this better than your ISP? Better than Gmail?
Anton, we are not talking of email.
The thread is about someone with a @suse address giving a speech at Oslo about SUSE or people at SUSE intending or trying to revive usenet.
Focus, please.
Shouldn't this thread all be on some other list? I don't know which, is there something like project mail?
