Here is my latest  /etc/leafnode/filters:
=======================================================

^Subject:.+"\[FAQ\] RISPOSTE ALLE DOMANDE"
^Subject:.+"REGOLE BASE DI"
(?im)^subject:.+"internet explorer" ^newsgroups:.*it\.comp\.os\.win\.win9x
(?im)^subject:.+"outlook" ^newsgroups:.*it\.comp\.os\.win\.win9x
=======================================================

I haven't idea whether I can get it working, I just followed some docs and 
newsgroup suggestions.
My purpose should try to stop certain "Subject:" or  "From:" within a 
newsgroup. Later on, I may try to killfile some sender within the entire news 
download, but I'll take it step by step :-)

And here follow my config :

=======================================================
server = news.cis.dfn.de
username = xxxxxxxxxx
password =  [secret]
timeout = 30
expire = 20
server = nntp.jaring.my
# username = xenu
# password = secret
timeout = 30
maxfetch = 200
initialfetch = 100
delaybody = 0
maxcrosspost = 5
maxage = 3
timeout_long = 4
filterfile = /etc/leafnode/filters
=======================================================
NOTE all commented line have been trimmed out, for shortening.

How do I find it into the log?

Here's the latest /var/log/news/news.notice:

This I didn't figured out. Is there any log that can give me an answer.

Well I was expecting to filter from the headers referring to certain criteria 
and then allow or deny the body download.

Could be an idea if fetchnews can return different values according to the 
meaning of the downloading process. At the moment I can only think about 
failed connections, timeouts and message lists out of order.
I was thinking about to write a BASH script to do a sort of killfile which 
will add line on the filter file in conjuntion with Klipper, but I couldn' t 
get even better for what actually it filter. Definitely might be a mistake of 
mine therefore forgive my disappointment about filtering, I'll try to get how 
to do efficient filtering.

Thank you for your attention.
