Heh, I totally missed that.
I have forwarded the spam (and the headers) to abuse_at_attbi.com. I suggest everyone here does the same.
And I agree with the 'moderate new members' bit...PlayMouse does that, and we haven't gotten any spams through since.
(Well, except for that 'please join my Yahoo! Group' bit that was going around lots of furry lists.)

Ban the above person from the group. (And report them to Yahoo)

The above says: "They were subscribed to the group and used the web page to
post", and the bottom confirms the Yahoo ID they posted from.
The IP resolves to 12-245-82-40.client.attbi.com so you may want to make a
spam complaint to them, and SOON, because radius logs tend to get deleted
after a few days. They'll be interested in the timestamp at the end of:

That's about it. Other than that, one of the best tools for preventing
spam and such is to set the list settings to "Moderate new members", which
is a "Normally moderated" list, but people who just join get moderated
until set otherwise. You can then check on posts and once a person has
posted a few on-topic things, un-moderate them.
