In article <1uk2oucs8wdk6$.dlg (AT) hightech (DOT) misfit me (AT) privacy (DOT) net "High Tech Misfit" writes: If you actually meant 4ax.com, it is a non-existent ISP. It is tacked onto the end of message IDs of posts made using Forte's Agent newsreader which is popular among many posters, good and bad. According to someone in the other NG (with the dumb prat), that default setting can be changed. Bruce, if you could do that, I would be so happy to get your posts back. But don't ask me how you do it. The added observation by the person suggesting this (ie, kill if Message-ID contains "@4ax.com") was that it's sure to kill a lot of worthless traffic. My guess is that the prats as a whole are techno-dim and wouldn't think to change setting. |
by toggling a setting in the agent.ini file. This setting determines
whether Agent or the user's news server generates the message ID.

I haven't used Agent in years, but I believe the setting can be overridden by toggling a setting in the agent.ini file.

killing a persistent twit, there is usually *something* in the headers
that remains constant. Some trolls have multiple names, but they
rotate through the same batch and only occasionally invent a new one.
The whole idea of having Agent hash out it's own MessageID numbers
was for true randomization - exceedingly low odds of two messages
being assigned the same MessageID.
If you do not assign a MessageID before you send off the message for
posting and let the ISP assign the MessageID, it usually has your full
and valid e-mail address in it "for security tracing purposes" either
totally in the clear or very poorly encrypted. Sorry, but that's not
an option I'm willing to use, there are enough holes in 'the net' now.
The 4ax.com domain was deliberately set up as a 'blind domain' -
they can try to harvest names and spam that domain all they want. It
is a valid and registered domain, but it does not have a mail or web
server. So try all they want, all their attempts to exploit
information in that header field are stifled before they start.
