			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning I was bombarded with about 4,000 spam messages. All of these spam messages were relayed through Google Groups. Fortunately, Gmail has an excellent filtering and labelling system that made it easy to report all of these messages as spam very quickly.  Here&#8217;s how you can fight thousands of spam messages in just a few minutes using your Gmail account:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong><br />
Open a spam message (any spam will do) and click the &#8220;show details&#8221; link.<br />
<img src="http://www.asherbond.com/blog/images/gmail_nospam/step1.png" border="1" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong><br />
Click &#8220;filter messages from this mailing list&#8221;.<br />
<img src="http://www.asherbond.com/blog/images/gmail_nospam/step2.png" border="1" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong><br />
Go to the &#8220;Has the words&#8221; box, and change it to <code>listid:.googlegroups.com&gt;"</code>. This will tell gmail to match the pattern .googlegroups.com in the listid header.<br />
<img src="http://www.asherbond.com/blog/images/gmail_nospam/step3.png" border="1" alt="" /></p>
<p>It should look like this when you&#8217;re done. Click the &#8220;Next Step&#8221; button.<br />
<img src="http://www.asherbond.com/blog/images/gmail_nospam/step4.png" border="1" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 4</strong><br />
Create a new label for google groups. You can call it &#8220;google groups&#8221;<br />
<img src="http://www.asherbond.com/blog/images/gmail_nospam/step5.png" border="1" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.asherbond.com/blog/images/gmail_nospam/step6.png" border="1" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 5</strong><br />
Check the &#8220;Skip the Inbox&#8221; if you don&#8217;t want to see this spam in your inbox.<br />
Be sure that &#8220;Apply this label&#8221; is checked.<br />
Check the &#8220;Also apply this filter&#8230;&#8221; box so that the filter retroactively works with existing messages.<br />
Click &#8220;Create this filter&#8221; and you should see all the spam moved from your inbox to your &#8220;google groups&#8221; label.<br />
<img src="http://www.asherbond.com/blog/images/gmail_nospam/step7.png" border="1" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 6</strong><br />
Here&#8217;s how to report the spam:<br />
Navigate to your &#8220;google groups&#8221; label (there&#8217;s a link to it on your left sidebar).<br />
Click &#8220;Select All.&#8221;<br />
Now just make sure it&#8217;s all spam and report it.<br />
<img src="http://www.asherbond.com/blog/images/gmail_nospam/step8.png" border="1" alt="" /></p>
<p>You can also select more than one page at a time, but Gmail won&#8217;t let you report multiple pages as spam. You can, however, delete multiple pages of email.</p>
