Hello, could you please tell me what code to put into newslink to filter
out certain text strings from the entire message?

i know you told me last year, and i had put that snippet of code someplace, and it got lost.. and i've replaced that .js file with one from the cvs.

i'd like to use it to filter out typical spam and certain bbses that are
being exploited by that guy. i think a lot of people would benefit form this if they'd switch their polling method to nntp instead of qwk and edited newslink to block certain bbses from their tagline,etc.

thanks!

Add something like:

if(body.indexOf('some text') >= 0)
continue;

Somewhere around this section of code:

if(truncsp(body).length==0) {
printf("Message %lu not imported (blank)\r\n",ptr);
continue;
}

thanks, saved it.

do you think this will noticably effect the speed of polling,etc since it's scanning each message for the string(S) ?

I honestly don't know. Try it and see? :-)

okay, i put in a filter for that ultramax site and a few newsgroup spammers. havent got anything from them after that,but i'll let you know.

i've been watching newslink run and i havent noticed any speed differences, but i poll quite often, so that may be a factor.
