I use this RE in the filter drop down. It selects much of the spammy posts we see contaminating groups.

Code: Select all

[1/6] "MRgrKVE8RFPDYL0w0h4lvL.7z"
[1/6] "2VrBEu8vEhLqdjKBhklJHB.7z"
[1/7] "PW96nm4CoL2V0e0iCVtjut.7z"
[1/7] "qZyzG8Cc941MBAHb9iyv7u.7z"


Stuff like this.

I thought about just filtering out these files altogether but occasionally it'll hit a real file

After I apply this filter I "Ctrl-A" then "Shift Delete" to delete them from the header database. I do a quick scroll to make sure I haven't caught any real files.

You could probably add this filter to the "global" filter profile as a "subject reject" if you want to hide these files by default.

Thanks, Quade. Building effective Regular Expression patterns has always made my brain ache so I appreciate that being done for me. Added to Global.
