If you are talking about the trolls who sometimes post to the spamcop
newsgroup who post from variable open proxies and forge regular users'
handles in the From, it is trickier than handling some other kinds of
trolls you may encounter under other conditions.

Your newsagent is OE, which has almost zero muscle in this regard.

Either you 'learn' how to do it mentally, or you acquire a serious proxy
filter such as NewsProxy/Nfilter and develop an nfilter.dat file.

I usually do it mentally, but adjust my nfilter.dat file when necessary.
