This rule would kill other cross-posts too, e.g. postings with
"Newsgroups: be.comp.os.linux,be.foo" or "Newsgroups:
be.comp.os.windows,be.bar".

How about one of the following rules (leafnode2 syntax)?

,----
| newsgroups = be\.comp\.os\.linux
| pattern = ^Xref:.* be\.comp\.os\.windows:
| action = kill
| newsgroups = be\.comp\.os\.windows
| pattern = ^Xref:.* be\.comp\.os\.linux:
| action = kill
`----

,----
| newsgroups = be\.comp\.os\.(linux|windows)$
| pattern = ^Xref:.* be\.comp\.os\.linux:.* be\.comp\.os\.windows:
| action = kill
| pattern = ^Xref:.* be\.comp\.os\.windows:.* be\.comp\.os\.linux:
| action = kill
`----

Bye, Reiner.
