al-anon or singles group?   Message List

Re: al-anon or singles group?

I know what you mean, Angel. For what it may be worth, it's not
someone specifically targeting our group, it's spammers sending their
disguised ads to every group whose address they can get hold of.

Unfortunately moderating a group is a time-consuming volunteer duty,
so these junk messages get through. Until they can be deleted and the
senders blocked, probably the best thing we can do is ignore them.
