Guest James Matthews Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Recently spammers have gotten savvy and defeated the image verification protections on services like gmail,yahoo-mail and hotmail. Now they are sending spam straight from these emails... I can assume that they are over there head in dealing with this... Now we all know that Google and Msoft aren't best friends... They don't care about people spamming msofts news servers.. -- http://www.goldwatches.com/Watches.asp?Brand=55 "David H.

Ironic that many complaints about it, show up from users posting through googlegroups.com! What complicates matters is the Google Groups archive search, because they are a one-act pony, and their interface has been FUBAR again, since June. This becomes obvious using the advanced search page. The archived messages appear to be there, but the search mechanism for finding them is broken. And Groups isn't the only problem Google has been having, because there have been loads of complaints about their regular search engine. But I use other search engines, so I don't care if their regular Google search works or not. Their Groups search is FUBAR, so why not let their ordinary web search break down to the point of uselessness, while they're at it. They should make book in Vegas on how long Groups will be FUBAR this time around. I'd give 3:1 odds till November, but that may be optimistic. Google Groups may be down forever. I found this link useful for keeping tabs on the situation: http://groups.google.com/group/google.public.support.general/search?q=groups+search&start=0&scoring=d& I hope Google Groups do make another come back, but it could be years before they decide to put it back on line. Like a lot of people are saying about Google, they can do anything they want, and there is nothing that anyone outside of Google can do about it. They have become like Microsoft, an international monopoly without competition. I've been reading in other groups that googlegroups.com is getting the UDP treatment in a lot of news reader filters, due to all the spam, and because complaints to groups-abuse@google.com are totally useless. I have not done that yet with my news filters, but I am tempted to, particularly if they don't fix the Groups interface, and soon. Do no evil. More like do as I say, not as I do. That should be their corporate motto. And that goes for Google and Microsoft. Quote

Blogger.Com used to kill any BlogSpot site that was found to spam Usenet. It took a couple of weeks but the sites were killed. I even got an email from Blogger thanking me and I was using support@blogger.com. Later, that email address was no longer functional during a situation where compramised nodes in Canada were being used to spam BlogSopts throughout Usenet. I then used abuse@blogger.com and a few days later that address too became a dead email address. Blogger is a division of Google. It seems to me that now Google is not only ignoring complaints of spam but is tacitly allowing it. Maybe for Google adsense revenue. Example: the almost daily Usenet spam for hxxp:// windowsxpsp2pro .blogspot.com Whatever the case, Google has become totally irresponsible and needs to be reigned in -- severely. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm Quote
