• Scoring rules - part 1

    From D@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 9 21:58:11 2024
    newsgroups can receive dozens or even hundreds of articles per day;
    scoring rules can be used to automatically separate these articles
    into categories: first, by analyzing common "xover" message header
    fields then applying scores and actions to those affected articles;
    second, by analyzing all header fields in articles which have been
    downloaded and scoring them accordingly: e.g. from, subject, xpost,
    message-id, injection-info, nntp-posting-host, references, x-abuse,
    path, x-trace, x-face, x-no-archive, x-complaints-to, x-newsreader,
    x-mailer, x-tor-router, x-spam-checker-version, xref, mime-version, x-orig-path, x-organisation, organization, originator, in-reply-to,
    reply-to, cancel-lock, content-language, content-transfer-encoding, content-type, user-agent, followup-to, lines, x-dmca-notifications,
    x-received, x-antivirus, x-antivirus-status, x-abuse-and-dmca-info, x-received-bytes, x-usenapp, x-complaints, x-postfilter, x-user-id, x-server-commands, x-usenet-provider, user-agent, newsgroups etc...

    by downloading several hundred article headers in a busy newsgroup,
    overview scoring rules can be tested; after retrieving the message
    bodies, both overview and non-overview scoring rules are tested on
    all message headers; cursory inspection of these retrieved article
    headers can reveal headers and/or header field text strings unique
    to certain newsservers that allow posting, including websites that
    use backend nntp, and mail-to-news gateways popular with anonymous
    remailer users...non-overview headers can be especially useful for
    this; a clean "portable" install of 40tude dialog 2.0.15.41 is the
    best place to begin (do not install to default x86 program folder):
