I do not really understand their motivation, 99% of the groups out
there are not going to be susceptible to spam. Most groups are tech,
or at least, highly niche, and the people on it are going to know it
is spam. Most groups are filtered into a folder, there are just so
many red flags.
Spammers are a strange group.
How come this list is such a target? I am on some other google
groups, larger than this by a fair degree, and this does not happen.

Why yes we can, and we do... loads of it.
The problem is that these spammers are spoofing the "from" address
of
list owners who usually get automatically posted and skip the
moderation step. This is a flaw of the way Google Groups handles
incoming posts, and not of the group admins.

Google group admins can actually DELETE spam, too, which would be
