You missed the point.

Newsgroups are NOT email, and what email address a person chooses to put on
his posts is *completely*unrelated* to what newsserver he's posting through.

Nearly all Usenet spam originates on Google Groups newsserver(s). Much of this
spam does *not* show an email address @gmail.com in the from header

Many people use gmail.com email addresses, but post to Usenet through
newsservers *other* than Google Groups.

Thus, killfiling posts with an email address @gmail.com will result in:
a) failing to killfile a lot of stuff that is spam, and
b) killfiling a lot of stuff that is not spam.

What you want to do is killfile any post with "googlegroups" in the message-id
header. Never mind the from header -- anybody can put anything in that. It's
not a reliable means of identifying spam posts.


Thanks!!!




Way too complicated. Just killfile all traffic coming from GoogleGroups,
and
be done with it. If that's too heavy-handed, then use filter rules to
build a
whitelist of Google Gropers whose posts you do want to see, and killfile
everything else.
