In fact, I stopped using it a while ago for this reason.
the issue for me is not that they are spamming groups within google groups, but that they are signing up the victim email addresses as members of the group, then using google groups to distribute the content. -- Jim Mercer jim () reptiles org +92 336 520-4504 "I'm Prime Minister of Canada, I live here and I'm going to take a leak." - Lester Pearson in 1967, during a meeting between himself and President Lyndon Johnson, whose Secret Service detail had taken over Pearson's cottage retreat.
