If you mean the one "Hoges in WA" just posted the Message-ID header for,
no, it's not. It's from Google Groups. The email address given in the
From header is at yahoo.cn. But that has NOTHING to do with its origin.

My GG filter (as outlined at the UIP link in my sig) kills it. But with
my normal news feed *they* have it killed before it can get to me; I don't
know what of their rules it triggered, as they don't kill GG posts. I had
to go look at the group on another server, that does not do very good (if
any) of its own spam filtering to see it at all (and, as I said, even
there I only see it if I temporarily disable my GG filter).
