Re: [leafnode-list] filterfile (III)

[Marko Riedel <mriedel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings.

I followed your advice, read the manpage and edited
/etc/leafnode/filters accordingly. Now all filters seem to be
working.

My filter file now looks like this.

----------------------------------------------
newsgroups = *
maxlines = 2000
action = kill
maxbytes = 15000
action = kill

newsgroups = alt.binaries.pictures.*
maxlines = 0
action = kill
----------------------------------------------


Thank you very much for your help.

Best,

Marko Riedel
