Any consideration to adding a Poster Section to the Download Filter?
Thanks

There's a separate header download filter setup that applies to all groups. I'll have to dig up the documentation.

Any luck in digging up those instructions?
Thanks much!

I was looking at it, and you can filter out message-id's but, not the from's.

Ok, thanks. Might want to think about adding that feature.
Thanks

Seems like NB is already filtering Posters based locking them out, but after header download. Why not add a switch to prevent downloading any locked out Poster posts once they are flagged as a spamming Poster?

It runs the risk of completely crippling header download speed. So, while I'll consider it, it's not something I'll turn on by default.
