Lately I get a lot of SPAM only in this Newsgroup. I am reading this group via
Mozilla Thunderbird. How can I block this SPAM about 300 till 600 messages a day
or must someone who (say someone who has more privileges do so) If not is there
a better route to read this group and block the SPAM

Yes, there is a lot of spam here. With Thunderbird, under Tools, is
Message Filters. You can create filters to mark most of it as read and
to ignore the thread. If you also set your View=>Threads to Threads with Unread, then you won't see them.

I believe that E-S requires authenticating to post.
You should be able to ask for help configuring authentication in the eternal-september.support newsgroup without authenticating.
I usually read Usenet newsgroups via new.eternal-september.org and
only very seldomly see a spam message in the comp.lang.ada newsgroup.
For some time I have reported all of those as abuse.
When doing that Google claims:
"Google takes abuse of its services very seriously. We're committed
to dealing with such abuse according to the laws in your country of
residence. When you submit a report, we'll investigate it and take
the appropriate action. We'll get back to you only if we require
additional details or have more information to share."
A side question, have you find a solution to post using news.eternal- september.org or is it read-only server? I can't send messages using
GNOME Evolution NNTP support.
I had a account and read the doc there, all was configured as
advertised. I found the issue just after posting here, in GNOME
Evolution the NNTP posting does not work if you send NTTP message via
the outbox (that is, posting with a delay of 5 minutes). So a bug in
GNOME Evolution after all.
Thanks for the quick reply.

These are the filters I have set up one one rule:
for each of these terms, subject -> contains ->
our ladies
escort
sex
model girls
stunning babe
call girl
and From -> contains -> angelchristinee07@gmail.com
That seems to cover most.
Another solution might be adding a specific keyword in the subject of
the post [...] For instance: "[comp.lang.ada] blah blah."
While this might look negative at first sight, it will most probably
reduce the amount of spam in newsgroups tremendously, as the bulk
is currently posted via Google Groups.
