random spam messages

I keep on trying to keep our list a spam free area... with no luck for now :(
With more than 5000 members and already more than 1000 tagged as
banned, i don't know why but some spam emails are still tagged as
"Allowed" (roseanjel, i'm talking about you here)
I don't really see how i can manage to identify spam or not inside a
5000 emails list, so what i'm thinking about is to mark everybody as
"Moderate" and tag you guys back as "Allowed" one by one on each first
new message. All in all, this shouldn't take too long, we are not more
than a hundred active folks here right?
The only difference for you as a user could be a bit longer time
before your message is moderate and published.
Thoughts?
Kinds Regards,

All in all, I am surprised that there is as little spam as there is. You are doing a good job of keeping spam down and conversations civil.
Go ahead and give it a try - delaying a user's first message is no great penalty.
With all the recent attacks on hotmail, gmail and yahoo accounts, it is not surprising that 20% are being used for spam. Most list members are lurkers who may not even be paying enough attention to realize that their accounts are spamming the list - especially since you are already filtering really well.
You could try bouncing the spam, but I don't know if it would help. In some cases, it might give a user a heads-up that their account was being abused, in other cases the bounce would get lost in their filter and thus just be a waste of time.

Actually, when spammers use email address like roseanjel1@,
roseanjel2@, roseanjel3@, ... all tagged as "Allowed", i really think
a global list management could be good.
I'll proceed late tonight GMT.

identify? If someone posts only spam, or more than 5 messages marked
as spam, ban them.

"moderate".
I've never modereated one of these groups so I don't know how hard or
easy it is, I guess it's up to you how you wan to do it. I know jQuery
left for their own list at zoho.com, but it's awful for discussion.
Same with Stackoverflow. For all its faults, GG still seems to be the
best on-line discussion site as its UI is the closest to a functional
(albeit limited) Usenet news reader.

I saw this post about stopping google group span a while ago, but it should probably still be relevant and of course I am not sure how you currently have it set up, but I thought it might still be useful.
