Dealing with spam from Google Groups can indeed be frustrating, especially since some groups don’t provide a visible way to unsubscribe.

Here's a strategy I've found somewhat effective in managing this issue:

    Identify Spam Emails: Set up a filter to identify emails where the Return-Path contains @googlegroups.com.

    Characterize the Subject Line: Many of these emails have subject lines encoded in 64-bit UTF-8 format (=?UTF-8?B?).

    Automate Google Group's Unsubscription: Reply to the address specified in the List-Unsubscribe header.


If you're maintaining a mail server with Rspamd, you can automate this process using a custom Lua script in the local.d directory.

Alternatively, there are many options for MUA's depending on your flavor of choice.


Good luck! I gave up reporting googleapi url's a long time ago, they go unanswered.
