Hi all!

If you are running leafnode, the following should get you rid of
the crap:

# echo "^NNTP-Posting-Host:.*121.205.198.143" >> \

*** that. Just use a filter based on the
'X-Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google\.com ' line. You might need two or
three exceptions, but the vast majority of posts coming out of google are
spam and that isn't surprising given google-groups being a spammer's paradise
giving unverified access to anybody who can generate a throwaway email address.

Not my perception, taking a close look at the most recent OPs,
most of them are sent through groups.google.com, no spam but
people looking for help.

Even if we get indeed hit hard by spam from groups.google.com, it
seems only a small fraction of abusers.
