porn spam? 
some of us read this list at work on machine's we don't own.
 the image 
stuff is becoming a serious problem.

  shows on a map where the seller is
  (think craigslist + google maps)

About all you can do is mark it as spam and let that train
Google's spam filter.

A mail client that doesn't automatically show images will
help, too.

I do believe that Google groups are filtering out close to
99%
of all spam (sign up for a gmail.com account and see for
yourself).
I too find this greatly disturbing, but the fact is that it
is,
to my understanding, difficult or even impossible to filter
out
100% of the spam.

gmail. What gives?

The format of these porn spam's is new,
I do believe the filtering will take care
of it soon enough. Takes a few of these to
train the spam filter(s).

Are the other lists powered by Google Groups?  Are they as
active as 
Django's list?

Perhaps you should direct your complaints to Google, as I
don't think 
the people on this list (or even the owners of the list) can
do much 
about it (aside from moderating every new user/post).

This is one of the few lists where I get spam in my gmail
account at 
all.  I don't know why that is, it almost feels like there
is no 
filtering on the list by Google at all.

I'm subscribed to a number of Google Groups-based lists, and
I've seen
spam make it to every single one of them, so django-users is
not
unique in that regard. It is a fairly high-traffic list with
a large
number of subscribers, which I imagine makes it a more
tempting target
for a spammer, but I've seen identical spam messages make it
onto the
lists for other popular frameworks and for popular
JavaScript toolkits
which use Google Groups as well.
