Explained in general terms if you follow that sig link. :)

Pan/slrn/Xnews/others syntax:

%BOS
[*]
Score:: =-9999
Message-ID: googlegroups.com
%EOS

That's cheap (efficient) scoring. If you filter on the User-Agent header
it's expensive, since that's not included in the server's XOVER database.
So stick with what I've shown.

Put it at the top of your Score file. The equals symbol in the Score line
means "stop processing this post after this rule", so the post is plonked
before any other rules even get a look at it.

In Filters, uncheck the option to show posts with a -9999 score.

Enjoy the Improved Usenet. ;)
