I believe that there is no administrator, and you need to use a different new reader, such as Thunderbird, to remove all of the "chaff". The are a number of threads further down suggesting how to do that.

There isn't an overall administrator for RAS, but there are administrators for the servers
that deliver RAS to you. Google is one of them, but they do not filter out the spam (a
common practice); Eternal September is another, and they do filter out the magic mushrooms
and most of the other junk. I use Thunderbird for my mail and newsgroup client, so I am
able to get my almost junk-free RAS from Eternal September, using this "recipe":

Any junk that does make it past Eternal September's filters can be dealt with by using the
filters built into Thunderbird. So far, September is doing such a good job, I haven't had
to invoke any of Thunderbird's filters.
