This is a good idea. . .but why not kill from the NNTP-Posting-Host? A
line that reads something like:
-1 pattern NNTP-Posting-Host: .*whatever.com if domain name
-1 pattern NNTP-Posting-Host: xxx.xxx.yyyy if ip number
would probably work. Usually xxx.xxx are static numbers, but yyy can
change depending on which PPP server the person connected.
Most ISPs include the above mentioned header. . .check by pressing 'v'
when reading his message, and look for the line in the headers area.
