Using a good newsreader which is able to kill articles on subject,
originators adress etc. is quite a help. I'd recommend "slrn" as
newsreader, so that when using this entry
[bionet.software]
Score:: -9999
Subject: \<MONEY\>
Subject: \<FREE\>
in the coressponding score file (kill everything in bionet.software with
subject containing MONEY or FREE), a great amount of spam simply vanishes.
Of course this does not adress the underlying problem of spam.
