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.
