I don't know that it is. i could not find any provision to filter out spam or to set the X-No-
Archive or even mask my reply address from bots harvesting news groups for addresses. Agent is
also free.

"A potential bug in the software might cause problems not only for the users of the software, but
for all Usenet users."

Anyone know what this bug is? What does it do?

Settings > Scoring and Actions Definitely more powerful and flexible than the filtering in
Agent. Have set up a filter that is picking up the college posters here based on the NNTP-Posting-
Host header.

Seems to work fine to me. Also allows multiple identites if you want.

Since when? Free Agent is free, Agent is $29.00. Different programs. Dialog is free (for
personal use)

You could always try Gravity - that's another one that's free these days. Typically, it became

I think this means that a such a bug could exist, not that it does exist.
