(I can easily make it invisible to me with my newsreader, but I do check and do see it. Since my news server honours cancels, I cancel the spam, which gets rid of it here and perhaps on some other servers.)

You can filter by from, to, and subject. It is currently set to delete messages with "buy" in the title, but nothing happens (in the newsreader; it works fine for email).
