    If you're using Google Groups: sex, betting, and pirate videos. And disengagement by Google.

    If you're using a real news server (e.g eternal-september, aioe(?)) the
    spam leakage is fairly minor.

    news.eternal-september.org, Thunderbird, and some simple filters, and it's practically nil.

    Eternal September is fine, but I find Thunderbird unusable. Since the
    latest batch of spam, I have to close it and open again to read anything
    - multiple times

    I keep trying others to run under Windoze, but so far no good. Might try
    a Linux offering - I always have a few raspberry Pis hangins around, as
    well as a nice fast Ubuntu server

    I've been using TB and eternal-septembre for years (as have many others
    here) with no worries and (almost) no spam. So this is strange. I hope
    you find out what's wrong.
