GMail is going to ruin this group.

[John Corliss]

I notice more and more spam being posted to this group from GMail
accounts. Google is totally non-responsive to complaints about usenet
spamming.

Any (non-troll) suggestions for dealing with this problem?

I don't see any spam here when I read the group through my

Switch to a news ISP that filters out spam, and tell your old ISP why
you're leaving.

Ditto, and some filter for 'Subject:', too (I happen to be
testing filters - OW I'd not see this thread).

No spam to speak of here using news.readfreenews.net, either.

No spam to speak of here using news.readfreenews.net, either. The only
one I've seen during the last two weeks, in fact, was from a Donald Bock
(yes, gmail) advertising (ironically) a $35 anti-spam application. One
spam post to a busy group during a two week hardly seems suggestive that
"Gmail is going to ruin this group."

First, you need to understand the problem: It has nothing to do with
Gmail. Rather, it's Google Groups that is the issue.

I haven't notice much spam. Maybe 2 or 3 a week. I get much more email
malware than that in a day. This NG is pristine compared to my email.

John, meet Blinky:
<http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html>

Google at this point in time is not listening to anyone who doesn't
like the way they do Google news

The traditional KF and nasty letters are about all that has any short
term relief.

 

[heldmar]

I read this newsgroup everyday and I haven't noticed spam in it, except
for 2 or 3 messages in a month which I found not so bugging because I
just ignore them.

I wish I could, Bob. However, I can't afford to pay for another newsfeed
than the one I get through my ISP, and I really have good reasons for
sticking with my current ISP.

Thanks for pointing that out. So does GMAIL have a good TOS?

AFAIK he doesn't hang out in here

Sorry Mike. You're right. He gave up on this group when he moved to
Linux and got tired of the trolls. We used to correspond via email. He's
a really good guy.

John, he does use 24hoursupport.helpdesk quite often.
Hope this helps,
