That's not what he wants to do.  He wants to filter out posts made via
Google Groups, not posts sent from people who use gmail addresses.

Here's the rule for slrn:

Score:: =-
 Message-ID: .*googlegroups.com

I don't know what client you use but perhaps you can adapt this procmail 
recipe.

Yes, blocking GG was the biggest improvement to my reading this list
(mailing list in my case).  That and a few judicious PLONKs and it is
now useful.

Al I need to do now is figure out how to filter out the almost daily
Windows installer questions.



The ever-so-slight irony is that Mailman decided it didn't like this 
post and held it for moderation! (Something to do with the headers; I 
didn't bother to check since I recognised the sender).

I didn't notice much spam on c.l.p (but then again, I filter out all
posts from google-groups).  The problem on c.l.p that caused me to
switch to gmane's NNTP server was the number of broken references.
They both have references that break in various scenarios, but my
tests indicated that it was worse on c.l.p.  [Yes, I actually wrote a
Python program that used an NNTP client library to check all the
reference values in a large sample of posts from both sources.]

If you want to read python-list as a news group, you might try 
news.gmane.org.  About once a year, it goes down for a few hours to a 
day, but has otherwise been dependable.  I found it when my ISP dropped 
newsgroup access around a decade ago.
