That won't do any good. It's not someone using your account
to send spewage, it's someone simply forging headers so that
it looks as if it came from you.

No-one who's thought about it for more than 3 seconds thinks
that these sporgeries actually come from the posters being
spoofed, so your reputation remains what it was before them.


Besides, if you look at the headers, they obviously are not being
posted through Google Groups.

(Compare the headers in this message with those in one of the spoofed
messages.)
