For those of you who still use USENET comp.os.minix group and follow group activity through Google Groups (by RSS feed) and are tired of SPAM as much as me, we’ve established a RSS “proxy” in http://rafavargas.es/minix/ where you can find Google Group’s RSS filtered (spam-free).
Check and compare both RSS feeds and give it a try!
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.minix/feed/rss_v2_0_msgs.xml
Until now, we didn’t have any false positives. Although, there’s still so much work that could be done to improve this filter, we are not going to do it, because we had decided to move to a moderated group (change comp.os.minix to moderated). This RSS filter is a temporal solution.
P.S: this is not part of my job with Minix, it is just a matter of personal need.
