After complaining to Google about all the newsgroup spam that's
generated using gmail / google groups, I received the following note:

"Thank you for your note. This is an automated reply. If you're reporting a
spam email with a Google return address, please be assured that it did not
originate with Google. Google does not permit others to send unsolicited
email through its mail servers. A number of unscrupulous businesses have
sent out mass mailings with forged Google return addresses. Google is
actively pursuing all available legal means to stop these miscreants from
abusing our name and your inbox. We appreciate your understanding, and
please accept our sympathies for the inconvenience this may have caused."

Uh huh - sure..............

That's funny because their message is greeted with "User does not exist
to you" from my e-mail account. I built a very thorough Google filter
using IP addresses from GMail spam headers.

Google doesn't care and they're not going to fix it. Ask your Usenet
provider to filter Google more heavily. Odds are they already have
filters in place because Google Groups has been plagued by security
holes and nonexistent maintenance. When a feed spams this heavily and
ignores all complaints, they stop caring so much about false positives.

Sounds like what happened to myspace... 'cept they're doing something
about it.
