Only out of all the various groups.io groups I am on, I've not run into one spam email.
However, this business about these maintenance or cleaning deals keeps popping up with different names which I know in at least one case, Mark had approved the person only the day before, then their first message was this BS. I use the delete key freely, but if the moderator or owner put new people on moderated status, most of this would disappear.

You take care of this with the magic delete button. It's not a big deal. There's no need to leave the list just because there's a couple spam emails on it. Every email gets spam. You should see my Att email account it gets all kinds of spam it I have to delete like 50 messages a day really isn't that big of a deal so everyone really just needs to calm down.

I’m sure that Mark has other claims on his time apart from moderating this list and that’s perfectly acceptable. I’ve seen Mark attacked for being too heavy handed and criticised for being to lenient! List moderation is a difficult and often thankless task but one I feel Mark has carried out well. Remember his contact details are openly given to the list and I’m sure he does his level best. I would urge all members not to throw out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. This is an informative list with helpful members, a sort of family. Let’s give Mark the opportunity to sort it out and offer him our support rather than our condemnation.

There is none unless you forward a problem message directly to Mark with something in the subject line to get his attention like "urgent Mark."

It's hard to see how this wouldn't solve the spam messages problem overnight. This is still a great list (I think it's nearly 16 years old!) but the amount of spam is starting to increase which puts the reputation of the list into doubt.
