Right now only members can post and if a non member posts I have to manually allow it. I guess that had worked ok for a while. Now the spammers are making accounts and bypassing this. Unless google groups has some spam filtering that I do not know of, I think I will have to change the settings so that new members are moderated.
If there is anyone that wants to help out on the list management let me know.

How about moving the mailing list to vger.kernel.org?

Did you find a way to migrate a bunch of people easily or did you add everyone manually?

When I moved stgt mailing list, I didn't either (you can't do either on vger.kernel.org, I think). I just asked everyone to subscribe to the new mailing list.

I directly wrote Google directly a few days ago - and previously had contacted Google Abuse at least 15 times. So far NO action. It's very frustrating. (I've attached the spam emails to all my requests). Looks like Google is "uninterested".
Perhaps if a lot of folks contacted Google, they'd take action (?).
The interesting thing is that I'm on a number of Google lists - and this is the only one which gets spammed.

It may depend on what you consider as SPAM, but I get no (undetected) SPAM from that list. As I thow away SPAM before reading, I don't really care where it came from.
There are lots of messages about look at this video or click here to see some pop star in her nude video.
For the most part my spam filters do a good job in keeping the crap out but because the open-iscsi list has been good for the most part I think it has become auto-whitelisted.
I also have to run my spam filter a little bit more open to make sure I don't get false positives since I am a sysadmin here.
I could go digging to fix it but the list should not be generating spam in either case.
