What's with this flurry of spam?!?

oups.com...

I don't see it showing up in Google's web interface so perhaps they
are filtering it.

That could well be.


Or maybe, if you receive the traffic via some email gateway,
you are mistaking spam for rah traffic?


I'm accessing through my ISP's news server. I have checked another news
server as well, and the same garbage shows up there. It appears to be the
same type of message with different titles over and over again. What a mess

I'm seeing massive amounts of spam on this group, is this just on my
newsserver or all around? It doesn't show up on any other newsgroups on this
server. My guess is that a subscriber to rah has it's system infected with a
spambot virus... Could everyone check/update their vurusscanner please?

If it was that it'd most likely be sending to your e-mail address. If
posted to the group the rest of us would see it too.



Nada here.

Rarely see any thing on the group or address.

First, make sure your e-mail return address is well spoofed, with
more than
just writing spam in the middle of it.

I would venture a guess that someone (or you) is using e-bay, google groups,
or one of another million ways to get your address. It only has to be out
there once,..... then soon millions of spam lists will have your info on
them.

Best advise - filter, delete, ignore, or... change your e-mail address.

Or just create some crap address at hotmail and use that for public
postings and for sites that you register for stuff at...
