Mine hasn't -- I'm pretty sure eGroups isn't to blame. OTOH, bigfoot could
be filtering out the spam for me.

Not well. eGroups has a lot of very nice features which I can't easily
replace. SourceForge looks like the best alternative; does anyone object?
If it's okay, I'll transfer everyone tomorrow night.

I have Yahoo! mail, and I get almost no spam on the account I use for
mailing lists (with several egroups accounts).
