Fake mailing list spam

[LuKreme <kr...@kreme.com>]

Since I, like I suppose a lot of people, exempt mailing lists from spam checks, I've seen a lot of these messages getting through in the last few days:

I have been bouncing these to gmail, but I know that's useless. Not sure what do do since I don't want to scan mailing-lists.

I thought this was faked the first time I saw it.

Report the abuse to Google and reject any mail from 
@listserv.bounces.google.com

So, Google allows non-opt-in mailing lists like Yahoo does. Great :-( I've 
got a few of these last year from several Yahoo mailing lists that had 
only been set up to spam. Mailing-list names just contained a few random 
characters and the target public seems to have been Chinese.
I submitted several nasty comments via their reporting mechanism and it 
stopped after a few weeks. Don't know if they simply put my mail address 
on a no-go list or if they changed something with the lists or the spammer 
just stopped using them.

I'm not an expert on googlegroups headers, but these 'look right'.
So I'm inclined to agree that this is just an abused group and not 
spam that is 'faking' being from the group. 

I would blacklist the specific group (List-ID: header should do the trick) 
and report the spam to Google.

I never subscribed to the list in question. I am, in fact, not  
subscribed to any googlelists on this account.
