It does have, unless your provider filters them for you. Or you can add
some message filters in your newsreader.

this is part of the problem. gmail.com is currently heavily abused for
spam. I only can recommend to use another news provider and blacklist
gmail.com in your news reader (e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird). Many ISPs
provide a direct news access for their customers.

Unfortunately the blacklisting also hits the innocents like yours. But
this is a common problem of the internet.

No it's not, at least for usenet. Google Groups is.
