I don't think that would work with the 120 groups I'm subbed to (and 14 of
them I own and have to read every message). All the owner of this group
would have to do is either clean it up (get rid of the spammers - most of
them are 'BOUNCING' anyway) and have the first message from every member be
moderated. Or delegate it... I'd be willing to help there. But something
should be done.

I avoid the spam email problem with this group and others by not
having messages emailed. Some groups have hundreds of messages, and I
avoid reading a lot of them by just looking at the topic's subject and
skipping those that don't interest me. You can usually spot a spam
message at a glance.
