-<P>It should be noted that the filter will start to be used only once a user/node has logged out and back in again.
-<P>I am not going to spend any more time on these filters now as they will become more "comprehensive" in the near future.

-<P>In the /spider/msg directory you will find a file called badmsg.pl.issue. Rename this to badmsg.pl and edit the file. The original looks something like this ....

-# the list of regexes for messages that we won't store having
-# received them (bear in mind that we must receive them fully before
-# we can bin them)
-
-
-# The format of each line is as follows
-
-# type source pattern
-# P/B/F T/F/O/S regex
-
-# type: P - private, B - bulletin (msg), F - file (ak1a bull)
-# source: T - to field, F - from field, O - origin, S - subject
-# pattern: a perl regex on the field requested
-
-# Currently only type B and P msgs are affected by this code.
-#
-# The list is read from the top down, the first pattern that matches
-# causes the action to be taken.
-
-# The pattern can be undef or 0 in which case it will always be selected
-# for the action specified

-<P>I think this is fairly self explanatory. It is simply a list of subject headers that we do not want to pass on to either the users of the cluster or the other cluster nodes that we are linked to. This is usually because of rules and regulations pertaining to items for sale etc in a particular country.

-<P>In the same way as mail, there are some types of spot we do not wish to pass on to users or linked cluster nodes. In the /spider/data directory you will find a file called baddx.pl.issue. Rename this to baddx.pl and edit the file. The original looks like this ....

-<P>Create a file in /spider/data called <EM>badwords</EM>. The format is quite
-simple. Lines beginning with # are ignored so comments can be added. An
-example file is below ...

-# Below is a list of words we do not wish to see on the cluster
-grunge grunged grunging

-<P>Multiple words can be used on the same line as shown. Obviously these
-are just examples :-)

-<P>You can reload the file from the cluster prompt as sysop with load/badwords.
