arrow up from the message below mine, it shows as blank, but if I hit the arrow a second time, it shows up.
Well, I was pottering along with NewsTap, but I thought what the hell...
Anyone know if there's a way to bulk import blocked email addresses (from Unison). I have around 35 (25 from one person alone)...
Best result would be
if I can add multiple (comma separated?) email addresses to a single email field in the Usenapp Rule email field (rather than creating a rule for each, which would suck).

Xorox Software, based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, is a Dutch company specializing in Mac software development. They are the creators of
Usenapp, a comprehensive Usenet client for macOS.
Usenapp offers features such as a newsreader, SmartFolders, NZB
downloader, NZB search, SuperSearch, MegaSearch, and full Newznab &
Spotweb support. It also includes NZB auto-download, auto repair and extraction, bandwidth limitation, and posting capabilities. The software supports macOS versions 10.11 and higher and is compatible with both
Apple silicon and Intel-based Macs.
However, some users have reported that Usenapp makes unexpected network connections beyond those specified by the user, raising privacy concerns.

There have also been "reports" that the Earth is flat. Does not mean that it is true. YOU are the only person I have ever seen who questions Usenapp.
You REALLY need to stop using internet chatbots as a source of information. They are not reliable. They are not even "intelligent". But they are certainly "artificial".
Artificial Ignorance is a better description. Whereas you are Natural Ignorance.

Does Usenapp allow the use of boolean operators in its filters? I use one filter to catch that bod & his pals, though admittedly with quite a few arguments. Keeps things tidy though.

I don't know if Usenapp can do this but k/f on crosspost or followup to alt.computer.workshop catches a lot. Otherwise I k/f on his current
email only; IME he rarely recycles them.

Way back, probably before you were born, I was advised to be exceedingly cautious of people and organations, offering software, which failed to provide their name, address and telephone number.
I have checked with the Dutch authorities and there IS a Registered
company called XOROX Software - but they would release no details of
same. You'll not find out any more by visiting here:-
https://www.xoroxsoft.com/
For shits and giggles, this is what ChatGPT had to say:-

Could Usenapp be checking for updates and licences through
"unexpected network connections beyond those specified by the user"?
Many, many programs do things like those. Some, such as DVD-rippers
and CD-rippers even try to log into databases from which they can
acquire metadata about the programs, movies and music on the discs.
Checking for updates and licences could look odd to a wary user not familiar with the addresses of what the Usenapp program calls Home but
would not really be a security hole.

Do you want help finding a solid alternative to **Usenapp**? Or are you hoping to push Xorox Software to honor your license?

There is no "solid alternative". Usenapp is the best currently
available Mac
Usenet client. Thunderbird is a piece of shit. Yes, it is free. And
worth
every penny.
I find that Thunderbird works well nowadays. 🙂
I have no idea what you mean in your second sentence. I can only
assume he
cancelled YOUR license because YOU are such an asshole.
He has suspended me from posting in the users support forum.

It would be illegal for him to refuse me access to the software for
which I paid - I paid for a 'lifetime' licence!
Remember, I warned him about you.

I generally don't respond to the 'nymshifter but I thought that the
making of one small request in twenty years or so would not be
considered excessive and would not really be thought to be feeding him oxygen.
So, I was wrong and apparently I did a Really Bad Thing(TM). My
mistake. I won't do it again.
Thank you ever so much for the lovely, polite response, I will
treasure it forever. I am sure that the 'nymshifter will also be very
happy with it as he has seen many, many requests not to respond to him
over the decades and knows that they are universally ignored by
everyone. Still, surely *your* impassioned, reasonable plea for us not
to engage him will no doubt be completely effective.
I am fairly sure that my plea that he stop changing his pseudonym,
email addresses and other identifying marks, that he never again
'nymshift, will, in the name of decency, compassion and politeness be accepted in the gentle spirit in which it was offered and will be
immediately and forever respected by him.
I just know that he has done his last shift.
Still, as per the above, I won't ask him again. I will respect your
wishes, for I am really ever so nice.

as Andre is unwilling to meet the challenges I've made. His product MAY
be just fine - if so, he should defend it, not hide in the shadows. :-(

Dialling home to check an app is licensed or has updates is very common,
perfectly legitimate practice.
There are several utilities available that
can monitor outgoing messages if anyone is concerned. Mind you they might >dial
