tallguy is right . spam of the worst kind . sadly it is not uncommon
though i have seen this on a lot of groups i have been in . usually
in active ones .
dean i was thinking do you need any help at moderating the spam .
comepared to another non yahoo group site i co moderate we haven't
had that much , yet , however sadly with yahoo groups people can
just join if they want to and spam if they want to . i would be
happy to help out .
cheers

That's not true - groups can be Moderated such that all posts must be
approved by a Moderator before they even appear on the list.

I'm a Moderator on another Yahoo! group, and I just get an e-mail each
time someone posts a message. To approve the message, I just hit Reply
and Send, and only then does the message get sent to the group.

All new users are automatically set to Moderated. After they have
proved themselves to be fine, upstanding citizens, the moderation can
be lifted on a per-user basis.
