The problem is, this forum has lots of access points. Its not entirely a mailing list. Its also a usenet newsgroup (utterly uncontrollable). Its got multiple bidirectional mirrors. The python-list version of the group is fortunately largely free from spam as its spam filters are pretty solid, but other access points vary. I *think* from looking at his headers, he's posting via Google Groups. FWIW, since its a Gmail user, I've reported him for abuse to both the Gmail and Google Groups teams. If they decide to do anything, who knows. I've also reported all his mails as Spam, so hopefully they'll just get junked. Maybe the python-list spam filters can be tweaked, who knows. He'll probably always show up on the usenet/Google Groups part of things though. Cuz Google's notoriously bad at controlling spam on Groups(*) -- Stephen Hansen ... Also: Ixokai ... Mail: me+list/python (AT) ixokai (DOT) io ... Blog: http://meh.ixokai.io/ P.S. This is something which confuses me greatly. Considering how *great* the spam filters are on Gmail-- I literally get virtually nothing in my inbox-- how in world are Google Groups so full of junk? They doesn't Google run the groups messages through similar filters? Sigh.
