I've not seen this personally. How does this work? The spammers
create a group with you or addresses at your domain in it, and post
spam? What do you mean by "block on sight?" Ie, what attributes of
the mail do you filter on?

I have rece3ived MANY spam messages from Google Groups to which I have
NEVER subscribed. I have reported every one that has gotten past the
Yahoo!/att.net spam filter. I have not seen on in a few months; they
seem to come in spurts. And when I look at the RFC 5322 mil header,
I see evidence that the mail has been forwarded somehow. The header
is too complicated for me to determine the origin.
