Isn't the problem rather that e-mail (or rather smtp) is dead (or should be). It seems to me the only solution to this problem is a web-based BBS or replace e-mail with something else. Or is there a mailling list server that requires users to authenticate before accepting a post?
- jeresig 17y agoNot really a problem with email. It's more a series of critical errors on the part of the Google Groups system. If they were to implement Gmail-quality spam filtering then most of my concerns would be moot (since I never would have had to turn on moderation and these sketchy spoofers would've been caught right at the gate).
- mblakele 17y agohttp://jquery.markmail.org/ http://jquery.markmail.org/ seems to have a good chunk of the lists archived. They can probably get you a copy (marked up in XML) if you ask - that might be better than scraping.

- pronoiac 17y agoThis is odd - Sender Policy Framework was instituted to stop spoofing, & Gmail actually uses it. So allowing Gmail spoofers is bypassing the spam filters & SPF.
