for example:

all {
# uninterested in buying via usenet
-1 newsgroups: forsale
# uninterested in Mine is Bigger than Yours
-1 xref: advocacy
# interested in any follow ups to my posts
5 references: yn@scott
# disinterested in follow ups to posts from this site could insert
# specific message ID but this is shorter
-1 references: badsite
# zap short really dull posts of 2 lines or less
-1 pattern Lines: ^[0-2]$
# tired of spam thru this server
-1 NNTP-Posting-Host: los-angeles.ca.ms.uu.net
}

For a bit of spam trapping as the redoubtable Kevin Martin preaches (sorry
forgot the url)

alabama.general {
# akr.general is an Akron Ohio local newsgroup
-1 xref: akr.general
}

news.software.readers {
# tried of Virtual access pitches
-1 Organization: virtual technology inc
}
