Are we looking at the same Eternal September? The spam that reaches here
from Google Groups is constantly using different accounts and
IP addresses. Each day there is new material in the Injection-Info
headers.

I've given up; I'm blocking all Google Groups by default, with a
whitelist of legit users who regrettably post from there.

I restarted mine from scratch; it had obsolete entries from as far
back as 2008.  The new one just does the above Google Groups block, plus
whitelist.  I don't think anything will be needed in it in the
foreseeable future other than very slow growth of the whitelist.

I sent a patch upstream to make it easier in SLRN to block on the
Google Groups specific headers, but looks like I won't really be
taking advantage of it any more.
