Looks like this spammer is using Google groups to post spam to every
news group and google group he could.

By "this spammer" you mean gavino, I hope? Because I don't see any
other spam on my newsserver.

No. Your server must be doing a good job of filtering it, but there's
been a major attack lately. Check out
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/
to see what it looks like.

Or use Mozilla Thunderbird on win32. But I found some great bargains!!!!
so I am OK.


Do you pay for a news server or does your ISP provide that service? I
think
most in the UK don't.

Yes, my ISP includes a news server.
