I'm seeing a huge number of spam postings in this group. I'm sure they are
from a bot, but since the address keeps switching, I don't know how to block
the messages in OE.

Suggestions?


I don't understand what the purpose of the spammer is. How does he
profit by this?

As far as I can tell, these people most likely get their kicks by
reading the responses to their efforts. If so, that would be classic
trolling. I don't see any other benefit but I'm open to suggestion from
the more psychologically qualified on the group. The actual answer might
very well be above my pay grade :-))
