I just installed cleanfeed on our server,
I think I asked this 1 month or go but lost the thread,
how will I go about blocking all google groups on
cleanfeed server side so my users do not have to do it
on their clients ( I asked none needs or wants to habe google groups
posts )

Thank you for posting the name of a group being spammed (sci.lang.japan).
It helps to know groups to monitor. While the filtering is by message
content, not groups, it's helpful to know where to look to find stuff
not being filtered.

Thanks! I handle i2pn2.org, also other admins are doing a great job. I
think eternal-september.org is attacking the spam well, and will only
get better. It takes time to improve the filters while watching out
for false positives.

comp.lang.cobol and comp.theory have also had a recent explosion of
spam but it seems to be of the same kind as comp.lang.c .

comp.lang.cobol and comp.theory have also had a recent explosion of
spam but it seems to be of the same kind as comp.lang.c .
thus by example, using freeware 40tude Dialog to demote *googlegroups.com*
message-id and reference headers to -9999 instead of simply deleting them,
and using local system time(00:00-24:00|MT/UT-7) for daily/monthly totals,
since the beginning of this year 1 Jan 2023, totals from googlegroups.com:

alt.comp.freeware = 26601
comp.lang.c = 20643
comp.lang.cobol = 262
comp.theory = 3740
sci.lang.japan = 6260

etc... as everyone knows, that's only an tiny sample of the mass invasion
of the horrid ectoplasmic goo
