I don't know, Angie, but I made the same complaint last week. I have
been receiving the same spam messages on a few different Yahoo groups. The
e-mail addresses are different, but I suspect they are actually from the same
person, as they always end with the message, "I sent this message to members of
the
XYZ Club. If you don't like receiving these messages, here is how to
unsubscribe", and then they have the link to unsub.
Whoever owns/moderates these lists, should be dealing with this problem.
One way is to put all new members on "moderated" status for 30 days or more.
(Most spammers join a list, quickly pass around their spam, and then
unsubscribe before anyone has a chance to catch them.) If a spammer has to wait
30
days before they can get an unapproved message out to the group, they will go
somewhere easier. In any case, I hope somebody will PLEASE make it stop!
