Be careful though, as this guy may have a dynamic IP, and this day with
VPN's and such. And don't say, don't give him any ideas. Odds are, this
individual probably already knows about this stuff.

Subject: Re: Help with message are extremely offensive
hmmm.
well, far be it from me to offer advice. However, I had to dig pretty deep
into how filters work on apple mail in order to get this to work right.
Basically, I found his originating IP address, eliminated the last octet
(last digits after last period), placed a star in there and checked the
function move to mailbox and specified trash.
so far, it seems to work.
btw, there was another kind of message starting to show up around a few (not
many) of the google groups. whatever it is, its either malformed or contains
scripting designed to cause problems on macs. It caused my voiceover screen
reader to lock up, caused both the mail client to crash and any web browsers
I used to also crash. Even viewing the raw source caused issues. I posted a
no subject response to it and removed the offending material. Hopefully,
someone realizes their account has been pawned.(pardon the leet speak
there).
anyway, some domains (and IP spaces) are known for this kind of trouble. It
may seem like hard work initially, but the reward is that you never have to
see the problem after that. :)
thanks,
Eric

Good point Chris. Still, what made me think it might be all of the Google
groups is the tremendous frequency with which these offensive posts are
being put up. Then again, considering the fact that I am on to other
Google groups and this is not happening with them, you have a good point.
After all, if memory serves correctly, we had an antagonist a few weeks
ago who seem to be on the edge of doing this very sort of thing when we
all demanded specificity from him as to a specific claims that he made
regarding Firefox and accessibility: a thread which I'm sure you were and
I remember all too well.
Sincerely,
The Constantly barefooted Ray,
Still a very happy Mac, Verizon Wireless iPhone 6+ and Apple TV user!
