Re: I'm going to killfile gmail entirely

OK, I just quickly went through the last weeks news on this group. I
found all these spam messages below. These are the ones that my
individual filters did not delete, and I did not manually delete
instantly. I just went down the list and looked at the message
subjects. I found ONE spam that was NOT posted with a gmail address.
ALL the others were from gmail / googlegroups.

I dont want to filter the whole domain, and killfile valuable people,
but I am not going to keep adding filters every day when the spammers
just keep changing their user names. The valid users need to start
finding alternative email addresses. There are plenty of other free
emails available.

No, they don't. YOU need to learn how to filter based on the domain that the
messages were posted through, instead of looking at the email addresses.

Google is not going to do anything to stop the
spam, so let the spammers have google, and others need to get away
from them. Google is going to cause their own demise. It wont cause
me to lose any hair when they self destruct.

Right, which is why you should killfile anything that came from googlegroups,
without regard to the email address it's tagged with.

Here the list, with the message ID for proof. (and remember, many
were already deleted. Of those on the list below, most of them posted
more than one message.

Please note that all but one of the posts in the list below originated at
googlegroups.com.

The one exception is the post by Ken Pisano, who is a known and obvious troll.

Two filters -- one to killfile all posts with a Message-ID @googlegroups.com,
and one to killfile kenpisano@xxxxxxxxx specifically -- are sufficient to
eliminate all of them.
