I have been using -9999 to Ignore the article, I then never see it. In the scoring rule dialog box I see Increase, Decrease, Set, Watch and Ignore. Is Ignore doing the same as Delete?
The message count is the same here when using Ignore. That also happens on my other newsreader on my windows pc (MesNews), so I guess the reader is totalling the number of available headers even though they are not being (downloaded?) displayed. mick -----Original Message----- From: Pan-users [mailto:pan-users-bounces+poolcover=gmail....@nongnu.org] On Behalf Of Dave Sent: 23 January 2017 13:36 To: pan-users@nongnu.org Subject: Re: [Pan-users] Pan rules/filters On Mon, 23 Jan 2017 05:32:49 +0000, Duncan wrote: > As for step two, getting pan to actually take /action/ based on the > scores, that's what pan's preferences dialog, actions tab, is all about. > Obviously, you're after the "delete articles scoring at" option on > that tab, but unless the score lines you'll be using have been tested > for awhile and you are comfortable with the number of false-positives > you get, if any, I'd recommend doing a limited run without deleting > first, just to be sure the scores are actually working the way you expect them to. Gawd, I completelty forgot about that entire section! Thanks Duncan, that has sorted the problem. I set to delete on -9999 since I can be 100% sure that the filter is correct based on long experience with the group in question and the subject lines used by the spammer. The only thing left is the message count doesn't update until I leave the group and re-enter it. That's likely a bug, or just a feature not yet implemented :-) -- Climate Change may be raising the sea levels, but the gene pool seems to be drying up. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
