I notice that too on another list. A year ago Google groups was so good with spam. I wonder what happened or if spammers just started trying harder. I'll chim in with a client we recently just got off of involving blog spam (which might actually be what's happening) what was happening was there were real people signing up and then the bots would take over the address after real people signed up. There is no way to stop that though, unless everybody has to go through approval but that would require too much work for an open project lol.
