This comes up every few months now; CLF has been getting spammed for a 
year or so.  I don't think there is a way to complain to google other 
than reporting messages as spam or abuse on a message by message basis. 
  A few people (including me) have been spending a little time each day 
using the google-groups interface to mark the days spam.  It's easy 
enough to do (I'm retired and haven't got anything else to do ;( ), but 
I'm not sure it helps.  I think the only real hope is that google gets 
enough spam reports to interest a human being there in checking things 
out.

I read CLF via news.individual.net and they filter out all the spam.
