Re: Newsproxy v1.2.3 clarified [was] Free 256MB USB drive

I'm re-posting akula's post because of what I thought was a misleading
Subject title, which also contained the word *SPAM*, and many would
probably filter out this post without a chance to read the content.

Both the subject and word SPAM were not relevant to the post, which is as
follows.

I know this is late followup, but I only check
for discussion of Newsproxy v1.2.3 one per month
at Google.

Well, yes and no. The update I've released is
labeled Newsproxy v1.2.3 to differentiate it from
Mark's original work. v1.2.3 corrects some issues
I had with the UI and can control which headers
are sent to the server. It has also been tested
on Windows XP-SP2. The filtering code is mostly
the same, but I do not have the flooding detection
code so that isn't included.

The filters depend on what a news server sends in
the overview. Altopia provides all headers, other
services differ. The Xref header is the most reliable
for filtering out crossposted flamewars.

The filename I released it under is nps-123.zip
The source code is included and I'll post it on
request in alt.binaries.freeware

If anyone reading this knows the owner of nfilter.org,
feel free to ask them to put nps-123.zip on that site.

I'm more easily found in
alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent.modified
if anyone has suggestions, questions or feature requests.
It's a good app but still has a lot of areas that could
use a makeover.
