Folks here may not care but there are more and more irritating
nonsense posts on other newsgroups and the majority of them are
coming from gmail users. So I've just killfiled the entire domain
(for the time being). School is about to let out (it's already out
in some places) and it will only get worse. So if you're posting
from a gmail address I won't see your posts unless someone replies
to them. Sorry!
I don't see that - on the other hand, there IS a lot of spam from
groups.google.com (and the non-spam messages from there are so
unreadably formatted you might want to killfile them anyway). The
two services are independent.
I don't see a real spam epidemic from either one. I did a quick check
over the
last five days, and there were four postings. Certainly not
unmanageable to
just ignore. Am I just not seeing them?
I did say it's happening mostly in other ngs. And it's sad really;
they are posting stuff about Britney Spears' boobs (I don't even know
what she looks like, boobs or not) and other ludicrous stuff. It's
coming from teens in floods now that school is out. I got tired of
killfiling individuals (they crosspost like mad, too) and the
cross-posted replies so for now, for my sanity, I've just silenced
the domain in total.

I have a few filters in place, if the subject contains certain words like
Britney or $$$ they are automatically deleted so I never see them.

Oh, now *that* would be handy. Eventually you'd weed out a great deal
of it, and that would work
on any post no matter what the address/origin.
