Low priority question about a message in the "Logging Tab"

[deloppoled]

Hello.

My question here is very, very low priority. I am just curious about the following message. I am not experiencing any type of problem, so please feel free to answer briefly and at your leisure, since you've surely got higher priority tasks filling your days.

In the "Logging Tab" I noticed a messages and am just wondering what it means?

Code: Links not allowed for unregistered users

HIGH  MessageId Filter: Disabled


I went through the Filters and the Options dialogs but just couldn't figure out what that means. I may very well be the only user that doesn't know what that means, so I will look lame, but that's OK!

Thank you very much for any reply!

There's a mechanism built in that lets you filter message-id's from downloaded headers. Assuming you download headers from the groups. Some spammers use a common server to feed their spam so the message-id's have common tags. The problem is legit posters sometimes use the same server so, you have to be careful not to filter out good posts too.

All this message means is that you're not using it.
