You could put gmail on the blacklist
I think it's important to make a distinction between "gmail" and
"Google Groups" here. What you want to blacklist is not a return
address @gmail.com (most spammers won't supply one, some legitimate
posters do), but a message-id header matching the regular expression
<.*\\.googlegroups\\.com>. That eliminates 99.9% of the spam, and
quite a few annoying noobs as well.
Google seem to believe that having bought DejaNews, they now own
usenet. Apparently they don't take good care of their possessions,
either.
