I'm currently filtering out all messages with a 
message id that contains "googlegroups" from 
getting to the Info-VAX mailing list. This means 
I might not forward the few legitimate posts, but 
it keeps the SPAM from getting out.

BTW, I've noticed an up tick in spam messages 
hitting some mailing lists I subscribe to. It 
seems that the spammers are actually subscribing 
and then blast to the list before the list admins can remove/block them.
