So, I have cleanfeed running, but somehow I still don't quite get how
this is supposed to work. I used the bad_groups file to specify a few
groups that should be dropped, and expected that messages to all these
groups would be dropped. This doesn't seem to be the case though.
How could I drop all messages which are crossposted to one particular group?
If you look at the cleanfeed code at
https://github.com/crooks/cleanfeed/blob/master/cleanfeed
you will notice that bad_groups isn't even looked at by cleanfeed and
the content of the bad_groups file reads:
######################### IMPORTANT! - READ CAREFULLY ######################## ### You really want to use this file? Isn't there a better answer than
### dropping the whole group?
######################### IMPORTANT! - READ CAREFULLY ########################
If you just want to drop articles /crossposted/ to a particular group
(i.e. articles are posted to more than one group and the group in
question is contained in the Newsgroups: header), you might want to add
the group to the low_xpost_groups array in cleanfeed.local and set low_xpost_maxgroups to 1 in cleanfeed.local or take a look at the meow_* variables to achieve a similar effect.
