What I mean is a macro that's run when there's a post currently being
displayed, which does the following:
1) Look at the headers of the current post. Find the line that looks like
NNTP-Posting-Host: 1.2.3.4
2) Create a new score-file entry that will score as -9999 all posts in
the current group, with an NNTP-Posting-Host header matching the one
just found, for the next 7 days.

Does that make sense?
