After reviewing a few of them, they all appear to have computer generated gmail.com addresses, I wouldn't be surprised if email from within the gmail domain is less scrutinized than email originating remotely. Or that email going into google groups is not filtered and then once it originates from the group servers it's given a pass by some of the filtering. I'd be surprised if I haven't gotten more than a hundred spam from this list alone. -Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
