The "Ignore thread" does almost that. It marks the messages as read,
but does not delete the headers. When you press space to read the next
message, you will skip those messages, but since the headers are still
available, you still have the option to manually retrieve them should
you want to.
The name may be a bit misleading. Only that message and its follow-ups
get affected by the filter.

What could work is to look for diagrams and trigrams that are common
in whatever that language is but are rare elsewhere, and have a regex
rule that counts such n-grams - block if too many are found.

Basically, not at all. The only real support is the Usenet group
mentioned earlier. There are threads on developing just such regex
rules there.

I *do* wish people would refrain from reacting to these
spammers. If they'd only ignore them, the S/N of this group
would improve vastly.

I wish they would add some better/more message filtering features so I
might be able to squash some of this sporge in the group.
For instance, any thread started by a scammer/spammer should be able
to be deleted if it has responders from our normal group so I don't
have to see useless (to me) responses show up.
I'm not sure how much Agent is being worked on.

I just got an email from Ana at Forte. She apologized for the hassle
and comp'd me an auth code. I'd still be happy to pay for it.
So Agent is still sort of alive.
The 30-day trial has expired but it keeps working, so I'll use the
auth code if it stops.
