One more time: filter GG posts.  I see *no* spam from this server.

One rule.  No spam.

are you talking of the numbers morphing?

Seems like a simple method to deny this spammer:

gabi40030@googlemail.com

" deny gabi*@googlemail.com " and that's about it.

Yoo hooo, anybody minding the store? ;-)

As Blinky has pointed out many times, the best bet is to use an external 
filtering program to drop all messages from googlegroups.com.  The cost 
in legitimate messages that are dropped is very small.

I have been using NewsProxy v1.2.4 for about a week and have seen no 
spam. Messages from non spammers usually show up as quoted material in 
other postings.
