It looks like a bulk of my spam is coming from this mailing list.
Admins, Is there any way you can set that you can only post if you are part of the group, otherwise it's detained for review? It would really cut down on the static, and it was super easy to join the group.
I can change the posting settings.. I was trying to keep things open as possible just like the open environment I would like to create with the group. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

I've been deleting each piece and banning users per incident. Now, I've turned on the Request to Join feature so that people can't join and then immediately spam. That, will hopefully, take care of the spam issue.
Thanks, Rick

I'm using Gmail and have purposely NOT been reporting the incoming spam so that legit list messages do not risk getting bounced. Gmail must be doing some level of spam filtering itself since I've only received 1 or 2 spams in the last week or so.

We are only getting one or two pieces of spam a week to the group (unless i am not seeing all of it) but it is still annoying.. .interestingly google groups did alert to me to one post as possible spam and I was able to delete it before it went out...so it looks like they are trying, at least...

There's an option I usually use when I make a google group, that requests from new members must be moderated. It's great because new members don't see any barrier to posting, and at the same time spam doesn't get through. It's a little more work on the moderator's part, because they have to mark those spam messages as spam, but it's only a few each month.
