How it works depends largely on the particular newsreader software you're
using. The simplest of kill files maintains posters' isp addresses and will
block any posts from those addresses. The addresses may be real or bogus,
but it uses whatever the posted identifies themselves with. More
sophisticated kill files can block threads, entire domains, etc. Some
newsreaders employ both a kill file and a score file. The score file is
extremely flexible in filtering on practically every attribute a post may
contain.
